Got a spy pic from a buddy!!!

This is a bolt in Coilover conversion!
Also will work with Shockwaves!! It Gets 7" of travel out of the Shockwaves.

A matching rear kit is coming SOON!!!

VERY nice!
I'm sure the suspension geometry is greatly improved also.
The downside,... if you have to install it with the stock crossmember,... a low ride height is still going to suffer.
The lower a-arm cross shaft, will still be very close to the ground.

I'm drooling but hate to see the price tag on it.

Hey, I got the intro on these when I was in Jasper this month. Nice swap. Keep in mind that these A-arms also increase the caster to appx 7 degrees. So there is a geometry upgrade as well as the shock upgrade.

hey that looks like the ones I made for my truck... well kinda I am using 12 inch long springs on my coil overs so my upper mount is a fair amount higher.
nice looking swap and pieces. It has been fun watching all the top vendors coming up with suspension swaps for these cool old trucks. I say keep them coming.

BIGMIKEATRIDETECH · 07-25-2013, 09:31 AM

It really is a nice piece. Wait till you see the new rear kit!

ArkGL01 · 07-25-2013, 10:00 AM

I want my truck low with out doing bags so this may be what I go with.

What happened to the 65 C10 that Johnny was building, did it ever get completed? This is the one that had the 5 part Youtube video.

I was wondering how long it would take before people started asking. Ha ha, believe it or not I have started back on that project, we had another daughter ands I buiilt another truck in between time. I will post a few pics to let you know I am doing something.

Johnny Merder · 08-15-2013, 11:06 AM

FYI, here is the other truck I built in the last couple of months.

72BlckButy · 08-16-2013, 07:48 AM
