Up next Billetproof Florida at Big Daddy Don Garlits’ Museum Published on September 04, 2019 Author Chris Hamilton Tags Air Ride, Autocross, coilover, GMT400, Goodguys, MUSCLEbar, RideTech, Street Rod, StrongArms, Share article Facebook 0 Twitter 0 Mail 0 Hot New Suspension Systems for 88-98 C1500 | Coilover and Airride Coilover and Air Ride Suspension Systems | GMT400 Ridetech is very proud to announce the launch of two new suspension systems for 1988-1998 C1500 pickup trucks. Available in coilover and airride configurations, both systems replace your truck’s leaf springs with wishbone-link rear suspension and tubular StrongArm™ front suspension. The wishbone upper link serves two purposes: First, it locates your truck’s axle without the need for a separate Panhard bar or another device. Second, it works with two lower links to improve handling, ride quality better than leaf springs. Lower links feature Ridetech’s maintenance-free R-joint rod ends. It all bolts to your factory frame by way of a tubular crossmember and heavy-duty C-Notches. For the front suspension, Ridetech StrongArms™ offer revised geometry for improved performance. 2″ drop spindles facilitate lowering. Choose coilovers or air springs with adjustable HQ Series Shock Absorbers. A MUSCLEbar™ front sway bar, with investment-cast bar ends and delrin-lined bushings, completes the system. The team at Ridetech says they’re having tons of fun driving their GMT400 R&D truck. Apparently, 1988-1998 C1500 pickups respond especially well to suspension upgrades. Clean examples of these trucks are still around. Better pick one up while they are still affordable.
