Transform your Chevy C10’s front end with this complete front end system, designed to give you everything you need for a coil-over conversion with a tubular crossmember and rack-and-pinion steering. This upgrade not only overhauls your C10’s suspension in one go but also offers an adjustable ride height with up to 8 inches of drop. Achieve the perfect stance while dialing in the ideal ride quality and performance for your specific application—all while shedding 140 lbs. compared to the stock setup.
RACK-AND-PINION STEERING
Experience quicker, more responsive steering with the powered rack-and-pinion system. It provides a tighter feel and increased steering angle, perfect for accommodating larger wheels and tires. Plus, improved geometry enhances overall drivability, making your C10 handle like a dream.
INCREASED GROUND CLEARANCE
This kit’s crossmember and control arms ensure that your undercab frame rails become the truck’s lowest point, increasing ground clearance. The new upper shock mounts increase travel, delivering a smooth ride and performance, even at lower ride heights.
DIAL IN COMFORT & PERFORMANCE
Tuning your ride quality has never been easier. The double-adjustable shocks allow you to make quick adjustments with just a twist of a knob, so you can fine-tune your suspension to suit your needs in seconds.
EASY, BOLT-IN INSTALLATION
The crossmember arrives powder-coated and ready to install, with no need for cutting or welding your frame.
MODULAR ENGINE MOUNTS
Choose from modular engine mounts (sold separately) that allow you to reuse your existing transmission mount and driveshaft. Kits are available for Small Block Chevy, Big Block Chevy, and LS applications. For those looking to customize, DIY mounts are also available, letting you position your engine exactly where you want it.
