The QA1 Level 2 Handling Kit for 1982-2003 Chevy S10 pickups delivers a balanced, full-vehicle suspension upgrade engineered to work together from front to rear. Designed for street performance enthusiasts, this kit improves handling response, steering feel, and ride quality while achieving a clean, lowered stance.
QA1 assembled this system as a complete solution. Every component was hand selected to complement the others, giving you predictable performance, proper geometry, and an easier path to a well-sorted truck.
PERFORMANCE & STANCE YOU CAN FEEL
Capable of a 2-4” drop up front and up to a 5” drop in the rear, this Level 2 kit delivers a clean, lowered stance. Up front, 18-way double adjustable QA1 coil-over shocks allow you to fine-tune ride quality while maintaining confident control through corners. Tubular upper and lower control arms improve suspension geometry and strength, helping the truck feel more planted and responsive on the street.
Forged drop spindles correct steering geometry at lowered ride heights, reducing bump steer and maintaining proper alignment throughout suspension travel. A QA1 fat front sway bar further improves handling control, delivering flatter cornering and improved stability during spirited driving.
Out back, lowering rear leaf springs were chosen for the right spring rate and unique reverse spring eye design. The front spring mount is optimized for improved anti-squat characteristics, giving you more control over how the truck plants power to the ground, especially when launching or cornering.
