Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

Does the front kit move the wheel centerline forward,... to center the wheels in the wheelwell opening?

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

That looks awesome what ride height do you end up with I know tire size will make it very also how tall of a tire can you use up front I'm using a 245-40/20 on my truck now will there still be room. :metal:

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

Same question as bodydropped 68; Are the front kits lowering kits? Can they be used with drop spindles if you already have them, or do you need stock spindles?

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

I'm assuming the ride height is adjustable?

Is the dampening of the shock adjustable too?

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

Nice kits, even though it seems a bit pricey for me.

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

Does the drop spindle move the wheel out as other drop spindle do.

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

Nice kit Mike. Looks really good man.

Gggrrrrrrrrrrr!
Didn't I just ask about this on these trucks in another thread.
Maybe this is why they never replied to me.
I like it though.

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

I'm assuming these will cross over to square body 73-87-(91)trucks?

What's the ground clearance on them vs stock arms?
Factory ball joints used? And how does one mount sway bars?

Pretty badass setup. Should be a big seller.

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

the wheels are centered on our shop truck with the kit on it

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

The ride height is approximately 4/6 drop from stock. We are running a 275/35/18 on the back and a 245/40/18 on the front. wheel and tire size will vary depending on offset.

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

this kit is designed using dropped spindles. in most cases you can use your dropped spindle if you already have one.

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

the kits are adjustable but they are designed for a lower stance. also, there is an option for nonadjustable, single adjustable, and triple adjustable shocks

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

The green truck in the ad is bagged not on coil-overs, correct?

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

this spindle wont move the wheel out any.

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

Sorry I didn't see your prior post, but it is definitely here now!

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

We are getting ready to size the front up on the 73-87. I will keep you posted on the fitment.
They will use a factory style ball joints.
The arms are designed to utilize our sway bars.

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

the green one is on air. it has our new shockwave kit. all of the parts are the same with the exception of the shockwave being in the place of the coil over.

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

Got any straight on side shots of your shop truck?

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

What brand spindle?

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

Wow, that upper mount sure looks familiar!http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=266485

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

I'm interested in the amount of adjustability in these setups. How low can it go from stock height with drop spindles and a c-notch in the rear?

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

we use the cpp modular spindles with our kit so that it will work with a variety of different brake kits

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

I guess great minds think alike. wish we would have seen that a few months ago when when we designing where this kit, would have saved us some time :)

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

here is our truck at ride height. with the coil over system as a bolt in, you wont be able to go any lower than this without bed modifications or crossmember modifications

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

does the above image work?
I can run out in a little while and get a more direct side shot

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

Is that with drop spindles?
What size is the tire?
What is the measurement from the front cab mount to ground?

Sorry for the questions, just trying to figure out if it will get me to where I want to be sitting

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

Here is a side shot of one of the guys that works here. he has the full coil over kit on it.

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

the green truck has our complete kit with drop spindles
the tire size is 245 40 18 on front and 275 35 18 on rear
i will have to get the other measurment for you later

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

Looks like the wheel is in the stock/oem position.
About 3/4"-1" too far back in the wheel opening.
Just a thing I hate about these trucks.
(my opinion)
Porterbuilt and Hotchkis have addressed this.

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

Is it the angle of the shot? (And I might be off a hair)

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

I've read the primary difference beween 67-72 control arms and 73-87 control arms is the steel bushings were replaced with rubber bushings. The rubber bushings are softer for a smoother, but less controlled ride. Most tubular control arms use urethane, delrin, or other hard plastic bushings. I was also told that 73-87 control arms could be mounted on a 67-72 C10.
Can someone tell me why would Ridetech need to develop a different set up for the 73-87 C10?
Thanks

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

We just need to confirm fitment for the new upper mount.

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

we also use delrin with 13% teflon bushings in our new control arms

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

Thanks for the info.
1) Do the upper and lower bushings match stock C10 spindle?
2) Will your arms work with the stock 73-87 spindles?
3) Is it correct the $1400 kit does not include the coilover shocks?
4) Is it possible to buy the upper bracket alone if we already have arms, and if so, what would be the cost?
Thanks

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

1) Do the upper and lower bushings match stock C10 spindle?
-no, our control arms use Delrin self lubricating bushings, so you cannot use OE bushings.

2) Will your arms work with the stock 73-87 spindles?
Yes, the difference is in the ball joint. We select the ball joints based on the platform year you order. If you are using spindles from a year other than the trucks manufacture date just let us know what year the spindles came from and we'll match it up.

3) Is it correct the $1400 kit does not include the coilover shocks?
That is correct. As we offer many different shock options it's best to sell the two separately. This allows you to choose whatever shock option is best for your build.

4) Is it possible to buy the upper bracket alone if we already have arms, and if so, what would be the cost?
The upper bracket is not available separately as the shock length is critical. So you need to use our new arms to make sure the dimensions are correct.

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

Is the centering of the wheels, in the wheel-well, going to be addressed by RideTech?

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 

The wheel is centered in the wheel well. The pic above just makes it look like it's not.
I'm on my phone so I cannot add a pic.
