The Level 2 system adds our very popular STRONGARM™ tubular control arms. This is a great way to take your vintage truck and give it modern handling. System Includes: The front CoolRide® features upper and lower STRONGARMS® that provide a simple bolt-on to fix those old worn out factory units. A 4-Link AirBAR® will position the rear more precisely and eliminate the flexing and instability of the leafspring rear. The 5 gallon dual compressor RidePro®e3 compressor system provides 4 way digital control. It allows 3 system air pressure presets to provide accurate adjustments with the touch of just one button.
ShockWave: with Strong Arm Upgrade
The ShockWave® mounts much like a coilover and replaces both the coil spring and the shock absorber. The Shockwave kit bolts in using the existing upper shock mount. (Note: some trimming of your spring pocket may be required)
The Shockwave system will lower the vehicle from the factory ride height and provides the ability to go even lower when not being driven by lowering the air pressure further.
- Unequalled ride quality
- Proven patented sealing technology
- Anodized billet aluminum construction
- Eliminates tire clearance problems
To optimize suspension, our ShockWave system allows the replacement of the factory lower arm with RideTech's StrongArm lower control arm which is included in this system (Level 2 package also includes the upper control arm upgrade).
Shocks are the heart of every suspension system and are the key component in provide ride control to the driver. The Level 2 system includes the upgrade to our Master Series, Single adjustable Aluminum shocks, both front and rear.
Aluminum body / twin-tube design with adjustable valving Adjustability Provides More Options for Desired Driving Style and Loads Easy and precise valve adjustment with 36 rebound clicks from soft to firm
StrongArms: Upper and Lower included
StrongArm tubular control arms not only improve suspension geometry and handling, they also make installation even easier. The added benefit when replacing control arms is new bushings and ball joints. No more worn out components.
- Optimized ball joint angle... to ensure no binding during extreme suspension travel
- Black powdercoated... for lasting appearance and protection
- Installed Cross shafts & Ball Joints.. for simple installation
- .219" wall DOM tubing... for lasting strength and reliability
- Shock mounts swaybar mounts, steering stops are built in... no fabrication needed
- Proper airspring or ShockWave® placement... component mounts are designed in, not an afterthought
- Proper ball joint selection... RideTech uses a compression ball joint in a compression application and a tension ball joint in a tension application (just like the factory engineered it) to prevent failures
- Optimized arm length... makes proper wheel alignment a breeze
- Jig welded... every part is built right, every time
AirBar:
The area of largest improvement is the handling and cornering performance. The AirBAR® eliminates the oem leafspring and replaces them with a 4 link rear suspension. The 4 link bars offer more precise positioning of the rear axle to eliminate flexing and increase stability through the corners. When combined with a ShockWave® or CoolRide® front suspension kit your vehicle can now enjoy the benefits of modern handling and ride quality technology.
- The AirBar system Lowers vehicle ride height and provides the ability to go even lower when not being driven by lowering the air pressure further.
- Pre-engineered mounting hardware to maintain ground clearance, driveline angles, tire clearance and load capacities Bolt-on installation (no fabrication required) Greatly improved handling performance Ultimate ride quality.
Master Series Single Adjustable:
Shocks are the heart of every suspension system and are the key component in provide ride control to the driver. This level 2 system includes the upgrade to our Master Series, Single adjustable Aluminum shocks, for the rear airbar.
Aluminum body / twin-tube design with adjustable valving Adjustability Provides More Options for Desired Driving Style and Loads Easy and precise valve adjustment with 36 rebound clicks from soft to firm
