Ridetech Parallel 4-Link or Truck arm on 6 C10?
Looking for some advice on what rear suspension I should use on my 66 shortbed. I have the front coilover conversion and control arms from Ridetech and bought a new Ridetech parallel 4 link for less than half price on Craigslist. I am now wondering if I should use the ridetech rear trailing arm kit instead of this parallel setup.
Truck will be mainly street driven but run on the autocross course quite a few times a year. Which setup would be better for what I am wanting to do? Would there be a big difference between the two?

I'd tell you to go with the Strong Arm if you're set on Ridetech. 4-link will want to shove the front and induce a lot of understeer if you're pushing it in a turn.

Dan,
Thanks for responding even though you are connected with Hotchkis, I already have the coilovers for the rear to match the strong arm kit. Also they are local to me so I like dealing with them but I was impressed with the Hotchkis setup. Classy for you to give an answer and not shove your product to the front of the list. I have been planning on getting the strong arm rear kit because I was concerned with what you said. |
