DSE SpeedMAX Front Suspension System - Double Adjustable Shocks (032080-DDS) - 1967-1972 Chevrolet C10 / GMC C15 SBC
Give your classic GM pickup the front-end control, steering precision, and lowered stance it deserves with the Detroit Speed SpeedMAX Front Suspension System. Engineered specifically for 1967-1972 Chevrolet C10 and GMC C15 trucks, part number 032080-DDS is built around truck-strength components rather than adapting car-based suspension hardware to a heavier pickup platform. Detroit Speed combines its exclusive suspension geometry with double-adjustable coilovers, Detroit Tuned rack and pinion steering, forged aluminum spindle assemblies, tubular control arms, and a performance sway bar to deliver modern handling and ride quality while supporting a 4 to 6-inch drop.
The 100% bolt-on SpeedMAX system is designed for installation without removing the engine or body panels. Detroit Tuned aluminum-body coilover shocks are paired with 550 pounds/inch springs and provide ride-height adjustment and spring-rate tuning without disassembling the control arms. Double-adjustable shocks add a high level of damping control for dialing in ride and handling to suit the truck and how it is driven. The system also incorporates an ADI upper shock bracket, truck-specific tubular upper and lower control arms with Delrin bushings, stainless steel upper control arm cross shafts with caster tuner bushings, and forged-in-the-USA aluminum spindle assemblies. OE-style GMT800 brake architecture opens the door to stock or aftermarket brake options while bringing modern hub-pack wheel bearings to the classic C10 platform.
