Ridetech 1973-87 Chevy C10 Air Suspension - Level 3

This is the Ridetech "Street Challenge" system and it includes the best of every option they 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.

Few groups of people are as passionate about their hotrods as the C10 truck guys. That’s why Ridetech spent an obscene amount of time and effort to develop this suspension system for these trucks. The STRONGARMS® are beefy, the shocks don’t drag the ground, the C notches fit the framerail, and the swaybar fits and works. The civilized ride quality and predictable handling are very much like a brand new truck... you’ll quickly learn to love it! If you want it all from your classic truck, this is the kit that can deliver. Smooth luxury ride, full use for hauling and load carrying, and a real hotrod on the track. This system delivers in every case.

Front System

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

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.
