This is our "Street Challenge" system and it includes the best of every option we have to offer. If you are looking for the most versatile, and best performing system, then this is the option you should consider. Upgrades like StrongArms, MuscleBars, and the AirPOD control system are nearly always included in the Level 3 system.


RideTech 65-70 Impala, Bel-Air, Biscayne Suspension Design


Front Benefits:

 

  1. We build the arm one piece to eliminate the strut rod.
  2. Where the factory strut rod uses a rubber bushing to attach to the car we use a bearing setup. The bearing setup gets ride of the compression that is experienced with hard braking and cornering.
  3. We build additional caster into the arm so that the car drivers better, especially at higher speeds.
  4. Our StrongArms allow for a lot of suspension adjustment on this vehicle.
  5. The StrongArms for this car have an adjustable steering stop.

 

Features:

Front System

 


with strong arm upgrade

The ShockWave® mounts much like a coilover and replaces both the coil spring and the shock absorber. The Shockwave kit bolts in using the existing upper shock mount. (Note: some trimming of your spring pocket may be required)

The Shockwave system lower the vehicle from the factory ride height and provides the ability to go even lower when not being driven by lowering the air pressure further.

  1. Unequalled ride quality
  2. Proven patented sealing technology
  3. Anodized billet aluminum construction
  4. Eliminates tire clearance problems

To optimize the suspension, our ShockWave® system allows the replacement of the factory lower arm with our StrongArm lower control arm which is included in this system (Level 3 package also includes the upper control arm upgrade).



Master Series

Triple Adjustable




Shocks are the heart of every suspension system and are the key component in provide ride control to the driver. The Level 3 system includes the upgrade to our Master Series, Triple Adjustable aluminum shocks, both front and rear.

The TA shock has an impact forged aluminum body / mono-tube design with adjustable valving. Adjustability provides more options for desired driving style which includes single rebound adjustment PLUS dual stage high and low speed compression.

 


(upper and lower included in this package)

StrongArm tubular control arms not only improve suspension geometry and handling, they also make installation even easier. The added benefit when replacing control arms is new bushings and ball joints. No more worn out components.

  1. Optimized ball joint angle...
    to ensure no binding during extreme suspension travel
  2. Black powdercoated...
    for lasting appearance and protection
  3. Installed Cross shafts & Ball Joints..
    for simple installation
  4. .219" wall DOM tubing...
    for lasting strength and reliability
  5. Shock mounts swaybar mounts, steering stops are built in...
    no fabrication needed
  1. Proper airspring or ShockWave® placement...
    component mounts are designed in, not an afterthought
  2. 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
  3. Optimized arm length...
    makes proper wheel alignment a breeze
  4. 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


Rear System




with strong arm and musclebar 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

 



Master Series

Triple Adjustable


   - aluminum body
   - monotube design
   - adjustable valving
   - improved ride quality
   - ultimate performance


Adjustability provides more options for desired driving style and loads





Compressor / Control System


We have equipped our Level 3 package with our Airpod e3 compressor system outfitted with a compressor and a 3 gallon tank, and includes level sensors for increased accuracy.

The Airpod e3 system features:

3 ride height presets with optional "Ride height on start" feature. LevelPro Sensors monitor both air pressure and ride height to eliminate crossloading.
Transflective display uses sunlight to illuminate…the brighter the sun, the brighter the display. Mini USB connectors on bottom and back of control panel offer several mounting options.
Waterproof ECU allows mounting anywhere on vehicle. Compatible with existing RidePro and other brands of solenoid valves.
Built in troubleshooting menus provide error codes to alert users of any malfunctions. Solid state internal compressor relays eliminate external compressor relays and wiring.
Waterproof threaded M12 wiring harness connectors.
