Maximum Low! on the C10: Air Ride Suspension Install Challenge

Рет қаралды 22,981

8 ай бұрын

In this second installment of our 1987 Square Body C10 series, we embark on the complex journey of installing an air ride suspension. My aim was a consistent lay out between the front and rear, but the front presented unique challenges. Through precision welding and innovative problem-solving, we've approached a solution that achieves significant lowering without resorting to a full body drop or chassis swap. There's still more fine-tuning ahead, but the results so far are promising. Your feedback and support is invaluable. Please like, share, and subscribe to follow the progress. #C10Restoration #SuspensionInnovation

Awesome work. You're always on your a-game when it comes to solving problems. I admire that.

Love the trouble shooting process. You're very knowledgeable. You're the last of the true mechanic/fabricator breed. Not like these new techs that rely on the computer.

Love the content, been one of my favorite channels for a long time. Been watching since pepto. Got my submission in for the slam box!Just opened up my own HVAC company (High Performance Heating & AC) I told my wife that eventually I would love to have a old truck with a box bed on air ride so I could pull up to a job , air out and just roll the new units off. Fingers crossed luck is on my side. No matter what, I’m happy to support the channel brother

Spider web gussets were a 10/10 choice! Another awesome video Bode! You’ve definitely sold me on the DJI mic. Think I’ll pair them up with a Sony ZV-1F to start.

That mic has been the best investment for my production by far!

Do you have to do a brace on the steering pump? I’ve seen where people have had to do that because the pump twist when lowered and turning while driving.

@mattlee3400 6 ай бұрын

Dumb question. I have an 01 Silverado full size pickup my grandpa gave me a while back. Don’t want to ride to low. Sitting factory stance. What’s the best way to drop the back? If I had a square I would drop the whole thing but just testing the waters a little bit.

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports 8 ай бұрын

With all the custom work with the front, how many more inches did you gain? Did the cross member layout? Maximum low? lol

It's cool. I've lifted every truck/4wheeler I've had for 45 years. Have a Ranger now I'm interested in dropping, so I love watching your videos, though I don't think I want to go to the extreme of air bags or cut notches in my frame.
