Re: New Ridetech Stuff!
VERY nice!
I'm sure the suspension geometry is greatly improved also.
The downside,... if you have to install it with the stock crossmember,... a low ride height is still going to suffer.
The lower a-arm cross shaft, will still be very close to the ground.

Re: New Ridetech Stuff!
Hey, I got the intro on these when I was in Jasper this month. Nice swap. Keep in mind that these A-arms also increase the caster to appx 7 degrees. So there is a geometry upgrade as well as the shock upgrade.

Re: New Ridetech Stuff!
hey that looks like the ones I made for my truck... well kinda I am using 12 inch long springs on my coil overs so my upper mount is a fair amount higher.
nice looking swap and pieces. It has been fun watching all the top vendors coming up with suspension swaps for these cool old trucks. I say keep them coming.

What happened to the 65 C10 that Johnny was building, did it ever get completed? This is the one that had the 5 part Youtube video.
