I got the DJM kit with the tubular control arms and everything for about $1000 and couldn't be happier and my truck is lower than that one my c notch isn't as long but it's a lot thicker
I had some problems with shipping and getting all of my suspension kit at once but in the end I'm super happy with the kit. I will say you will run into a few issues depending on the exhaust you run and having some clearance issues with wheels tires and wheel well/ fenders
Okay this may be a dumb question but I need to know. I have a 1993 cheyenne ck3500 single rear wheel single cab. I'm wondering if I can use lowering kits for duallys without problem. Can't seem to find any lowering kits specifically for a single wheel 3500 anywhere and not really sure if there's much if any difference between one or the other. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I'm having a hell of a time finding an OBS 88-98 RCSB with a V8 and power windows. Anybody have any recommendations on where I can locate one? And it goes without saying that this suspension system is the cream of the crop for these trucks.
Not sure if this will be seen but I’m worried about wheel/tire figment if I lower my 96 Cheyenne. My fronts stick out about an inch or so and the rears (just by looking) seem to be about flush with the well. Not to mention the lip inside the well. Any ideas w/o changing wheels and tires? I’m on a 10-10.5 wheel (not sure in backspace) and riding on 275s. They’re 15” wheels.
I'm stuck between belltech and ridetech... The belltech sales an 4/6 to 5/7 adjustable fir 1200 . Ride tech is only a 4/6. For 1500 . The price isn't the point I just want a nice smooth ride. The only reason I'd like to go with belltech is to be able to adjust the Chevy lean.
Interesting, clean set up. I would like some info, so I'll try here & on the site... With several companies already offering drop spindles, some quality ones that adds to the wheels sticking about .5" further out & some quality ones that doesn't, why design another offering? Does your spindles push the wheels out or not? Are these spindles designed for low duty or the heavy duty rotors? On those front wheels, 18x8 w/255/40/18, are those w/5" backspace (12 to 13mm offset) minimum? My truck is a 1990 GMC Sierra Sle 5.7 V8 2wd regular cab/short bed... I would like to use your strong arms to replace stock control arms. Thought about having the lower strong control arm weld up w/a plate to hold coil spring in place, since it's designed for your air bag setups. Any problems known going this route? Wouldn't mind later on getting rid of the leaf springs and using a four link & watts bar. The thing is, I could care less about laying all the way out. My ride will be a daily driver, so I would like to use JRI coilovers w/that rear setup. JRI has an adjustable hydraulic cylinder integrated w/in the coilovers. Any forseen problems w/that setup? Thanks for any info shared/given...
It looks like they all do I just did some research on 2 of the major companies belltech and DJM NOTE that you need to make a slight modification to the lower control arms. In other words you have to shave it with a grinder is what I did to my 1999 tahoe (2" spindle drop) using the factory 15" rims. I'm about to install belltech spindles on my 1997 silverado ( 2" spindle drop with a 1" drop coil spring)and I came across I will have to shave off the lower control arm too with stock 15" rims.
Frank M I have djm and back when I got it they didnt say the spindle have rubbing issues and my rear shocks feels like it's not stiff enough to stop the back end from slamming on small bumps at 45 mph
Joshua avila o yeah I remember that screw up like ago! I use to hey drop beams on my Ford's but after years of eating up front suspensions & tires. It was easier and cheaper to switch out the whole front worth yota or S10
Hi Frank, It's true, you have a lot of options and all of the kits make your truck look good. The StreetGRIP system takes the concept further with ride quality that will blow your mind plus much better handling. It won't out-handle a Ferrari with this kit, but it will handle like a newer truck. Thanks
Hi Guys... YES! Our shocks will make a huge difference in ride quality. Handling, too. www.ridetech.com/products/q-series-shocks/application-q-series-shocks/
That’s alot of wheel gap.Really like the idea of a tuneable static drop but 4/6 is such a dad drop kit. I’d pay $1,500 for a 5/7 with all the same characteristics..but a 4/6?....maybe when I’m 65
Hardly 20 years too late, these trucks are cheaper and more popular than ever and with LS swaps becoming more common these classic trucks are getting a lot more attention. Awesome that Ridetech offers adjustable dampers too. I like the USMags Roadster U120 wheels seen here. I can only find them in Anthracite finish over here. Are they 20x9.5 and 20x8 on this truck, Ridetech? Cheers
if the adjustable shocks are around 150-200 each it's actually decently priced. Ridetech makes quality stuff n put alot of R&D into the ride quality and handling. flip kit, c notch, adjustable shocks mounts spindles and springs n hardware it's actually pretty reasonable
Thanks. Yeah..Worth the money. The shocks have impact forged aluminum bodies (not stamped steel), monotube valving (like a Porsche), an adjusting knob to fine tune the valving to your preference and a 1,000,001 mile warranty. Your best girl will really appreciate the ride quality :-)
Cheaper stuff looks good at car shows. When you drive they become death traps. If you plan on daily driver your truck than spend the extra money for something made for handling and looks 2nd. This company also stands behind their product.
That honestly not a bad price for a quality product. I was expecting thousands and was turned off from the idea of upgrading my suspension. Glad to find your comment.
I’m not doubting but when the guy who promotes the product is the same that reviews it. You really can’t take him serious even if he is telling the truth. Just saying
I swear the GMT400 trucks no matter lowered or lifted they’re a beauty to see 👍🏽🇺🇸
I wish a kit like this when for 500 bucks or under
Man those early 90s chevys bring me back awesome memories
LeebeeTV yep it does allways liked these truck I. Have a 89 and 97
@@chasauto2932 one of the great things about them is that you take and make it YOURS
@@chasauto2932 Please let a brother have one! You can only drive one truck at a time anyway. Hehe😁
Two words.. prom night
Beautiful truck with amazing performance . I like how the truck has the red 454ss high bucket seats and center .console
That's comfort
Just purchased mine today I can't wait to have it put on.
I hope to see you guys invest more into upgrading these trucks. Handling, steering, big brake integration, etc

did u have to cut into the frame?
Yes
Nice kit. I'm still waiting on Ridetech to offer a coilover lower control arm, not everyone wants an air system.
It's about time had to settle for djm at the time because ridetec didn't have it 5 years ago
Accidentally clicked on this video. Had headphones in. Thank you for the scare with your intro.
It's beautiful your truck my Friend
Would like to see a coil over kit for us pro touring . There's many options for the c10s.

If you want a nice smooth ride then don't lower it?...............Lol
Gary Livingston you can still have a smooth ride with a lowered truck.

That dash is nice, mines a mess lol. Good looking stance on the truck.
Thats a cover from coverdash
I have a 4/6 drop from djm but I wanted to know if your shocks would improve the ride and it come with everything you kit had
Joshua avila same here went through two sets of rear shock and still have a horrible ride

@@ridetechtv do you guys make this set up for a 2door tahoe?
what is the back spacing on those wheels
What year is this truck?
Some reviews state 18" wheels or less for best outcome? Guess I need to downsize the 20's I have?
What size wheels and tires are on this truck?
That's what I want to know.
I would guess a 17-18.
18"x8" front and 18"x9.5" rear. Tires are 255/40-18 front and 275/40-18. Thanks for asking
ridetechtv think I can run 295/65R15 ?
@ridetechtv is there or will there be a Streetgrip kit available for the 99-06 GMT800?
Will those notches fit my C2500 2wd frame? 99 CCSB C2500
Will this fit a 1992 c1500 suburban?

I'm with you. I will dish out 1500 for a 5/7 quality kit
Is there a good air suspension that could be used on the track too?
How much for this set up looks real nice
Cary Christian $1500
😂😂😂💀💀
This will fit on 98 chevy cheyenne?
I'm very serious about getting this set up for my 90 gmc. How much $$ for what you have in the video ? Gonna do this 4/6 drop very soon . Thanks Dave
What is the kit
Does it get rid of the leafsprings?
It has a flip kit for the leaf springs
Leaf springs remain with this particular kit. You get a flip plus a heavy duty C-Notch for axle clearance.

Figure out the tounge weight. Shouldn't be more than a few hundred pounds.
I wonder if it would work on the k1500 to

Hermosa camioneta
Its $1800 in case anyone was wondering
Hi i need only the front kit number
Well it fit a s10 ?
Brandon Caison they make S10 parts, this kit will not fit one.
Ok cool thanks for the info👍
Maaaaaan that's one sexy truck
i like that they show it but i like to seen it on the truck
they should show it on a lift so we could see it on the truck
Blazin Draging ml mnk
soo kool
I thought it is now better to lower with a-arms than spindle's now days.
No sir. Spinldes maintain proper A-arm geometry. A-arms with drop spring pockets reduce ground clearance. Spindles are the way to go.
lowered a arms mess with the suspension geometry and ball joints
Nice parts guys! can I borrow it for a Sebring test? LOL
I’m not doubting but when the guy who promotes the product is the same that reviews it. You really can’t take him serious even if he is telling the truth. Just saying
Othere then the rim the truck looks nice
Build some stuff for the 2nd gen dakota
Needs a 6/10
we have that also..... just requires a bit of cutting and welding.
Come up with a better power steering for the 90s chevys youl change the game and youl make olot of money dont forget i gave you the idea
Good job making a nice truck look silly put the 15s back on it n set the ride height back where it should be
So you enjoy your trucks making a nose dive with 6 inches of clearance over a 26 inch tire?
1500 dam this is expensive to lower a truck
The bumper is incorrect thats a 88-92 tahoe bumper lol
It's obviously not a stock truck lol Good catch though
Tahoe didn't exist until 1995. You must mean the Suburban or blazer.
not even Mercedes-Benz has a one million & one guarantee on their shock s
The set up is *$1500* for those who want to know
Lol 20 years too late and way too expensive for what you get.
Buy a new truck fucks sake
