Hello everyone

Hi, I've got a 1970 Chevrolet pickup with a GM Goodwrench 350
She's a basic truck, but I want to make it just a tad better and more functional.

I'd like to start with a modest suspension upgrade.
Does someone make a more stiffer spring, swaybar and shock upgrade kit?

I don't need to spend thousands and change the geometry, it's a truck not some "G" machine. I just don't want it to be so "loose"

That's about it.
She has front discs , she stops well, has enough power for me to putt around in and interior is just fine...

Re: Hello everyone

Sway bars from a 73 -87 will bolt on try to find one from a one ton if you can they are the biggest. that upgrade takes about thirty min and less than a hundred bucks. A Camaro rear sway bar will work on the back there are threads on it use the search to help you with that one. Several companies offer new springs to lower and stiffen up your truck. Jim

Re: Hello everyone

Thanks for the info!

I'll source one from there.

As far as springs I don't really care about lower, just stiffer.
