RideTech 1988-98 Chevy/GMC C1500 Complete Coilover Systems

RideTech C1500 complete coilover systems include everything needed to create modern drivability with an aggressive stance for the 1988-98 Chevrolet and GMC C1500 trucks. The package contains front upper and lower StrongArm tubular A-arms, front and rear HQ Series coilover shocks, front sway bar, HD drop spindles, and rear wishbone with integrated C-notches. The benefit of a RideTech complete suspension system is that it removes all the guesswork as to which components to purchase—saving you time and money.

Overview of features, specs, and parts:

* Ride height is approximately 4 in. lower than stock in the front and 6 in. in the rear (coilovers add adjustability for rebound and ride height)
* Front coilover setup includes HQ Series shocks and bolt-on upper shock mounts to allow more ground clearance and maximum suspension travel
* HQ Series aluminum body shocks are a monotube design, rebound adjustable, and come with a 1,000,001 mile manufacturer warranty
* Upper StrongArm A-arms feature corrected ball joint angles for the lowered ride height, and the length has been altered to create more camber adjustment. Injection-molded Delrin bushings with 13 percent PTFE are used to reduce deflection and stiction. Also includes integrated brake line mounting brackets.
* Lower StrongArm A-arms feature a double-sheer lower shock mount for increased strength; the injection-molded Delrin bushings with 13 percent PTFE are used to reduce deflection and stiction. Also included are quality ball joints for a completely bolt-on experience.
* Front MuscleBar sway bar is included to reduce body roll and includes the Delrin liners to minimize suspension bind
* HD drop spindles are used to all the use of a longer stroke shock and improve suspension geometry and bump steer
* Bolt-on wishbone system greatly improves traction, handling, and ride quality. Installation does not require welding or major modifications to the bed floor.
— Includes patent-pending R-joint rod ends to eliminate binding and noise
— Wishbone upper link (rather than panhard bar) for zero lateral movement during suspension travel allows extremely tight wheel/tire fitment
— Optimized anti-squat, instant center and pinion angle migration for dramatic improvements in handling and traction
— Bolt-on C-notch reinforces OEM frame rails and features integrated suspension mounts
— Simple installation with minimal OEM rivet removal
