RideTech C10 Suspension Design

Front Benefits:

1. Built additional caster into the arm so that the car drivers better, especially at higher speeds.
2. Switch from greased metal bushings to rubber bushings.

Rear Benefits

1. The front trailing arm crossmember is designed to allow the exhaust to be run through it rather than under it providing additional ground clearance.
2. The panhard bar mount on the rearend has been lowered to optimize the bar angle for the lowered height. This helps keep the rearend centered in the truck.
3. The C-notches are included with the rear StrongArm kit and FIT the frame rail.
4. With the StrongArm setup the driveline angles have been optimized for the lowered height.
5. The StrongArm kit includes new trailing arms for the guys with trailing arms that have rusted out.
6. The panhard is adjustable so you can optimize your tire clearance at the new lowered height.

Features:

with strong arm upgrade

The CoolRide® system consists of an airspring, a shock absorber, and all of the necessary mounting brackets and hardware. The rear system is very simple to install with the airspring and shock absorber replacing the coil-spring and shock in the stock locations.

1. Lowers vehicle ride height and provides the ability to go even lower when not being driven by lowering the air pressure further. Improves both handling and ride quality
2. Pre-engineered mounting hardware to maintain ground clearance, driveline angles, tire clearance and load capacities

Optimized ball joint angle... to ensure no binding during extreme suspension travel Black powdercoated... for lasting appearance and protection Installed Cross shafts & Ball Joints.. for simple installation .219" wall DOM tubing... for lasting strength and reliability Shock mounts swaybar mounts, steering stops are built in... no fabrication needed

Proper airspring or ShockWave® placement... component mounts are designed in, not an afterthought Proper ball joint selection... we use a compression ball joint in a compression application and a tension ball joint in a tension application (just like the factory engineered it) to prevent failures Optimized arm length... makes proper wheel alignment a breeze Jig welded... every part is built right, every time

The most overlooked suspension component is also one of the most important. The magic you could be missing in your suspension may be nothing more than simply adding or upgrading your swaybar. The new Musclebar sway bars were developed specifically for lowered vehicles and will greatly enhance the cornering performance of your vehicle ( Not to mention they'll also make some vehicles safer at the speeds we travel on today's interstate highways.

"Ball Joint" style connection allows bind free operation through a extremely wide range of motion.
- 360º rotation
- 45º misalignment
Durable design will outlast traditional bushing style connectors
