@Destiny is Life great comment!!!!

Thanks for looking. Note that this is a full conversion system that replaces all suspension components. That results in a higher price tag but handles like a modern sports car and is fully adjustable. We also offer a more affordable system called StreetGRIP that retains the leaf spring and OE control arm arrangement. Click HERE: www.ridetech.com/applications/trucks/1988-1998-gm-c1500-suspension/

Single life is awesome!!

@@ridetechtv lmao 1800 for that streetgrip kit, one can buy the pieces on ebay and build their own for MUCH MUCH cheaper, just saying.. I get yall gotta make some $$, but damn..

You have 22s?

Khef Blood Homie no, riding on 15s

If your eventually going to go that route dont waste your time with a bolt in tiny c notch. Leaves you super limited to rear suspension travel before axel tubes smash the frame/bumpstops

A nice China shitbox kit off Amazon. Nice

What kit is it?

@@muffpipe84 This isn't just a vanilla flipped diff kit though is it? It's a complete package. Sway bars front and rear with bushings and hardware, upper and lower control arms, with upper and lower ball joints, 2" lower spindles, coil over shocks with adjustable bound and rebound, camber bolts, and coil springs with locating collars up top in the front and lower mounts in the rear. Rear double wishbone with a stronger c notch and links. Plus much more. I bet the coilover/shock setup means this trucks axles won't slap the frame in a hurry and the sway bars will also make it less prone in the corners. Plus you are forgetting this is all adjustable. I have a 4/6 by the 'other' reputable company with their 'street performance' shocks all round and my truck hits the bumpstops like no tomorrow. This is a completely tunable suspension setup. Easy 6k worth.

@@muffpipe84 No I didn't miss anything, you were whining on about a stupid c notch and completely missing the whole point of this upgrade. This is a complete kit. Front and rear, with adjustable everything. It is a performance upgrade made to make the truck handle. Who the heck puts a rear wishbone suspension upgrade with adjustable ride height, bound and rebound, on a leaf sprung solid axle truck, and wants to "lay frame"? You're a cabbage, crawl back under your rock and go smash your mustang into some curbs, you obviously haven't got a clue! You would think some guy with "Motorsports" in his username would have some sort of idea...

BRMN8R , I don't care how adjustable it is $6000 dollars is insane , my trucks are just fine without any of this , I can get brand new shocks and bushings for under $300 cash and I'm driving , no buddies , no expensive parts , no modifications , and I got $5700 to spend on something else , if I want my truck to set low , I'll let the air out of my tires

@@jimthomas777 I'm not sure if my brain was hurting from repeatedly banging it against a wall or significantly lowering my IQ to explain this to Muppet number 1, but it looks like his dumber cousin has arrived. NOBODY IS ARGUING THAT 6K IS A LOT OF MONEY. I am trying to explain to doofus and now yourself, what the 6k gets you, and why the notch isn't large. It is a performance upgrade made to make the truck handle like it is on rails. There is a massive amount of product included in this setup, and a lot of research and development has been put to it. That is why the price is up there. If you just want to lower your truck a bit there is other options, Ridetech also do a cheaper 4/6 drop. Honestly please go spend $300 "cash" on shocks and bushings, and let the air out of your tires, and post back how well your stock c1500 handles.

BRMN8R , I don't care how much your brain hurts , you can pound your doofus head up against the wall all you want , I have 11 trucks and they all ride just fine , I don't need $6 grand of worthless tube steel and polyurethane bushings to make my trucks ride any better than they already do , so explain all you want or shut the fuck up , it don't matter to me , I can buy adjustable shocks and poly bushings and I'm satisfied , you must be a ride-tech salesman or an installer , I really don't care , I don't need $1000 to make any one of my trucks handle well

if you can find a truck for that cost... Buy it! lol these truck are going for 15-25k these days.

There's always that one leg jumping Brown noser. Here's your award as you've won 🎖

@@charleshenson4183 brown noser lol, far from it bro, I’m simply saying to make a truck handle the twisties the usual flipkit & shackle job won’t cut it you need to spend money, nothing good is cheap in this life, if you think otherwise you’re dreaming

The balljoint design was a vision of one of our engineers, tested well so we stuck with it!

*rebuilds entire chassis*

At first he said a couple of tools...and then he said call a couple of friends for help🤔...

Out of their rabbit a** mind!!!

We had 2 people doing the install, one was the truck owner helping out our tech. This was in our booth at an event, so yes we had other people at the event. and yes one person in his driveway can install this system to answer your question. Thanks

Thank you for your feedback. Note that this is a full conversion system that replaces all suspension components. That results in a higher price tag.

Even at $3,000-$3,500 would be good. I guess ridetechs happy to sell a few kits per yr to fools instead of hundreds to avg guys.

@@charleshenson4183 well, this kit is made for the guys who really want to make the truck handle. The guy who is going to beat on the truck & need it to really stick in the turns. It’s not for the guy who wants to modify the looks & cruise it through town or take it to a car show. Really not that unreasonable when you consider you can easily spend $6k on engine performance parts. It just depends what you want to do with the truck.

@@rextrammell7840 That's what i want out of all my vehicles. I live in the tail of the dragon type of terrain and straight stretches are few and far btw as are cops,so a vehicle that handles is a must for me. I just don't care to pay far more than necessary.

@@charleshenson4183 very cool, I bet that’s a lot of fun. Is there a more reasonable high performance coil over kit out there? Anything I’ve seen has been expensive

That's what people said about 73-87 trucks a coupla years ago. Check the prices on upgraded OBS. They are already up. Buy an affordable stock example, add quality parts and watch the value go up. Way more fun than a .00002% savings account. Thanks for looking...

Should

Chris, yes and no. The front fits with no issues. For the rear you would need to use our universal rear 4-link kit www.ridetech.com/products/bolt-on-4-links/universal-4-links/weld-in-air4link-parallel/

ridetechtv I thought both trucks shared the same rear suspension setup, what makes the Tahoe different?

@@ridetechtv thanks. I was wondering since you have to take the bed of to install. thanks for the feedback. I'll just order the front for now.

They are stock length.

@The mechanic Of all never said anything in regard to their performance or look.... I wrote I hate them. Drums do in fact out last disc brakes but they are wasteful, ineeffecient and dissipate heat significantly less than discs.

@@poppasunny I love/hate em...I have one on my truck that I can't get off.

poppasunny 47 all of that bitchin work, and they kept those ugly rear drumbs It deserves slotted and drilled out disk with braided aircraft lines

Little Shop MFG disc brake swap. I have it on mine and it's awesome. Don't under-estimate the single piston D154R and D52 calipers from Wilwood. They're 2.5 inches in diameter! That's a lot of force in a very compact and simple package, plus they're omni calipers. There's no left or right caliper. --The drum brakes weren't bad, but when you go back there to work on your car, the drum stuff is really cumbersome. -- The other advantage of discs is that it's easier to have two calipers per wheel, so you can have an E-brake handle and normal 4-wheel discs without complicating the hydraulic system. -- Another advantage of rear discs on a 10 bolt is the caliper may hold the wheel on if you break the axle.

it a requirement, the truck would have no travel and bottom out on any bump.

Thanks

i will let you know in a few months lol

@@BUTTERY-APEX Well it's been 4 months what's the verdict?

@@charleshenson4183 We had a crappy winter and I have been sim racing not building a motor. Weather is starting to break but I also wanna log some miles on her before I tear her down again. I haven't even got to really drive it yet. She's my baby I keep her safe in the garage during the bad weather.

We have been using bolt-on c-nother for 20+ years. If you dont want to use the bolts, then weld them on. choice is yours. Thanks

@@ridetechtv Weld them in it is!!👍🏻😎

Uses the original front leaf spring hanger. no brackets required

Rickk R. Without removing them, the only adjustments that can be made are toe adjustments, if caster and camber adjustments are necessary then the “knockouts” need to be removed

Hi Rick, Removing the tabs allows you to align for high performance settings including more static camber. It also helps tire clearance a little.

the owner wasn't ready for that swap, he did that at a later time.

if your driving a 454, not sure gas millage is a priority lol

should be close.

Same chassis

www.americanracing.com/product/wheels/vn507-rodder/?attribute_pa_finish=gloss-black-diamond-cut-lip

Correct. No stiction, no noise, no deflection and they never need lubrication.

correct, only 2wd trucks.

not a problem, coilovers are adjustable, you may be interested in our shockwaves that can raise the rear with a push of a button.

you must be talking about the R2500 and R3500 trucks? to my knowledge all 1/2 ton trucks were built using the GMT400 chassis.

the gmt400 platform was introduced in 1988 , yes there were some 88 2500/3500
