Upgrade your classic C10 to a modern driving feel and performance. This kit has everything to convert your truck's front end to coil-overs and a tubular crossmember with rack-and-pinion steering. This is a great way to overhaul your C10 suspension in one go, giving you adjustable ride height to achieve the perfect stance with up to 8” of drop. All while dialing in the ideal ride quality and performance for your application while reducing weight by 140 lbs. over stock.
Powered rack-and-pinion offers quicker steering and a tighter feel. Plus, increase steering angle when fitting larger wheels and tires, and improve geometry for enhanced drivability. The crossmember and control arms make your undercab rails the truck’s lowest point. New upper shock mounts increase travel for a great ride and performance, even at low ride heights.
Single-adjustable shocks make it easy to tune your ride quality in seconds with the twist of a knob. The crossmember comes powder coated and ready to install. No need to cut or weld your frame. It easily locates the steering rack, and you can choose mounts (sold separately) for common engines.
