The premier manufacturer and distributor of quality suspension and restoration components for 1960-1972 GM pickups, blazers, panels and suburbans.
When lowering the rear of a C-10 Truck, certain geometric changes occur that need to be corrected. For the rear suspension to perform properly, we pioneered the use of an Adjustable Panhard Bar on our Project ’72, as well as relocated rear shock mounts to correct mis-aligned geometry. With a rear drop of more than 5”, the stock panhard bar actually runs at an uphill angle to attach to the rear axle.

Another problem created with a low rear drop is that the rear shock absorber angle changes dramatically. A 6” drop rear coil spring will cause the rear shocks to lay flat enough that little to no shock compression occurs as the suspension travels up and down. To correct this problem, we engineered a new upper and lower Shock Mount Re-Locator Kit that corrects the shock angle and lengthens the travel as well. Grade 8 hardware and a powder-coated finish are standard with every kit.
