You could go cheap route and use the front leaf spring hanger! We built a super cheap S10 project where we cut the eyes off the leaf spring, notched some square tubing and welded eye onto it. Then bolted rearend down with U bolts. For a locator bar, we ran a track bar.

YA IVE HEARD OF few ppl doing that i got a 4 link but when i was doing the measurments they r too short cause i was going to build a crossmembers right behind the cab and run the links off of that but the links r not long enough wanted to c some pics of some one using a 2 link setup i got a guy who can make the links for me just not sure

You can probably use the heim joints/bushings on the end of you 2 link bars. We've used 2x2 in the past. Long u bolts on the axle side. 2 link length will depend on your driveshaft. But you shouldn't need a ton of lift back there man. As far as a locator bar, I'd use a track bar. Basically it will be tabbed and bolted from the axle end of one bar up to the joint end of the other bar. I don't have any pics of my Rangers old set up or my brother "El Cheapo" S10.

Where are you located? Wish I had more access to metal!

I'd try searching streetsourcemag.com. I'm sure 2 links have been covered many times. Just ignore the bullshit cause there is some assholes on that site. I would suggest a triangulated four link. Can't throw side to side on a 2 link. After a couple of times, I broke my trackbar.

As far as the control arms, make a jig using the stock ones and go from there. Seth from Twistminis.com is a fabricating genius! You can also search streetsourcemag to find control arms too. Dallas Hot Rod Parts made mine and they work great!

What ever happened with your control arms john? Did you get the lowers and uppers?

[Johnboy72]

Yeah, got them. I have to find some longer bolts but have LF done and have to find time to do RF. No access to welder now.
