Rob- Thank you for taking the time to give us the complete story on your trucks suspension. We are all avid performance truck enthusiasts and love to see a well tuned C-10. In the past few years, the primary emphasis of of this forum has been toward properly lowering trucks. Recent months have seen a huge interest toward trucks that ride low with improved handling.

We have a huge pool of knowledge and talent here with our staff, members, and especially our vendors. We truly appreciate your sharing the hands on experience with your truck. Please keep us posted on your continued success next season.

Wow, that truck is a serious performer. If I could get my truck to handle half that well, I would be happy.

You may be able to run bags with it if you wanted the spring pocket is a flat based recessed pocket with a polyurethane spring locater that is removable. But I am not familiar with bag diameters and such, we don't work with alot of that stuff. But here's a link for the Hotchkis Suspension Page for the complete kit, and you can navigate around for individual parts too.

I totally agree with you, as I was in the same boat. When we built the truck I never thought I would be doing what I am doing with it now. I, like others, have the thought process that racing road courses in a big box was not an option. Man, did I ever prove myself wrong on that one!! I will definetly keep everyone in the loop on what we are up to, I am in aww and overly impressed with the amount of positive feedback we have received from members on this site.

PCHRODS, can you give some details on how the Rear Anti Squat Bracket System works? Thanks

[lolife99]

PCHRODS,... I'm interested in the Hotchkis centerlink.
What are the advantages to swithing to it? (bumpsteer?)
Can it be used with my current drop components,... or is strictly for Hotchkis spindles and a-arms?

Nate,
I am looking for some lower a-arms for my bagged 75, I am running 3" DjM drop spindles and slam specialties 7 bags. I am also running an end link style Belltech Sway bar. Will this sway bar work with your lowers?

If it is a factory dimensioned bar specific to the C10... YES.

The sway bar mounts to the existing "outer mounting holes" on the stock a-arms for the stock swaybar. The holes just had to be drilled out larger.
