1982-2003 S10 / S15 / Sonoma w/ 85" Differential Complete HQ Air Suspension Handling Kit - Ridetech 11390296
The Chevrolet S-10, S-15, and GMC Sonoma pickup trucks experience significant enhancements when their ride height is lowered and ride quality is improved. These trucks are abundant, cost-effective, and can easily be upgraded to V8 engines, resulting in an outstanding power to weight ratio.
Ridetech offers a comprehensive and easily installable bolt-on system that eliminates the truck's factory leaf springs. Instead, it replaces them with a robust Wishbone link-style system, featuring Ridetech's excellent R-Joints that ensure smooth and unrestricted articulation.
The front end of the system, called TruTurn™, consists of tubular A-arms and outer tie rod ends that correct any issues with bump steer. Additionally, the complete system includes a pair of front and rear HQ Series monotube Shockwaves™. The rebound adjustment knob on the shock allows for the precise fine-tuning of ride quality.
To complement the package, a heavy-duty front MuscleBar™ sway bar kit is included. Overall, the transformation that their Shockwave Air Suspension System brings to the truck's handling, ride, and appearance is truly remarkable.
