68 C10 Suspension Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am looking for options for my suspension for my 68 C10.

For the front im looking at the Air Ride Tech Kit with the tubular upper and lowers with shockwaves. I am also interested in a similar setup with just a coil over. Does anyone know of a kit for this?

Also for the rear I have been looking at the Air Ride Tech Setup, and the CPP setup.

I hate to break your heart but unless you are planning on putting a crossmember in and eliminating the factory crossmember, you are going to find it difficult to mount a Shockwave in the front. the 63-87 C-10's came with a divorce mounted shock as it is. To be honest... there is really no reason to change it either. it would be a ton of work for realisitcally no gain other than aesthetics. Now if you are installing a whole crossmember where you can use upper and lower coil over mounts, the Shockwave would be the route to go. It makes a clean / easy set up.
