1963-’87 Chevy C10 Fully Adjustable Tubular Control Arm & Coilover Suspension Kit

The all new high-performance coilover suspension kit for the 1963-’87 Chevy C10 and GMC C15 truck is a major upgrade in handling and performance. This new tubular upper control arm design incorporates Heim joint adjustability, which vastly improves frontend geometry and calibrations.

Key features:

Speedway Motors’ LevelSet front suspension kit for 1967–’87 C10s takes a different route to the same goal — its 7-gauge powdercoated crossmember bolts into the factory holes and converts the truck to rack-and-pinion steering without cutting or welding.
