Ridetech shockwave full system?
I used the search function and could not find what I was looking for. Looking for a 67-72 with a full a-arm and trailing arm setup with shockwaves. Looking for a photo at full lift and with all air depressed.
Thanks in advance |

Re: Ridetech shockwave full system?
I found i couple of what i was looking for. Still would like to see a picture with bags filled and a side shot. Also a picture of the front member and how close it is when all the air is let out. I was originally set on coils but the CHOICE of adjust ability with shockwaves seems way better.
Ridetech labels there kits as for a 63-70 and a 71-72, is this due to the different spindle for the 5 lug disc? Thanks http://www.chimeramotors.com/#!72-chevy-c10/cizr |

Re: Ridetech shockwave full system?
I was originally set on getting a coil over set up. However it does sound nice to be able to lift the vehicle up if you get any position with a high speed bump or high roadway. Can anybody help explain to me the advantage to having shockwaves Vs. having a traditional airbag and relocated shock mount.

Also looks like if you go shockwave you have the improve geometry of the a-arms when you buy the kit. Dont see a kit on there site with regular bags and there improved geomtery a-arms.
hmmm.... |

The standard C10 Strong Arms have revised geometry.

Re: Ridetech shockwave full system?
I am back and forth on what set up I want to run. Has anyone ran a Porterbuilt mild drop member with shockwaves? I'm having a hard time justifying the ridetech kit and it retaining the same front member.
Will th mild front and rear drop member require firewall, tunnel, floor or bed mods? Last edited by Vandals909; 06-08-2016 at 02:12 PM. |
