Weight in the back so you will not nose dive.

Removed the fuel tank that was in front of the axle and on the driver side and installed a Blazer tank that is centered behind the axle. Also relocated the battery to just in front of the axle on the passenger side. Kept a stout nearly-zero-profile fiberglass bed cover on it. A modified Class 3 (or was it 4?) receiver hitch added reinforcement, fuel tank mounts and extra weight at the far rear end of the frame. Oh, and I converted to rear disc brakes and had a proportioning valve adjusted to make it squat really well when standing on the brakes. Stainless steel flex lines. Rotors were cryo-tempered PowerSlots with Hawk HPS pads. I could stand on 'em from triple digits and they never faded or warped in the 10+ years I ran them.

Had 285s in the back with plans and clearance for 315s. It was being built to have a half-decent chance with a high-compression, cammed LQ9 (~450/450 conservatively) and FLT Level 6 moving it.

That would've been a sick S10.
