DSE SpeedMAX Front Suspension System - Single Adjustable Shocks (032080-SDS) - 1967-1972 Chevrolet C10 / GMC C15 SBC
Bring modern steering response, suspension control, and a properly lowered stance to your classic GM pickup with the Detroit Speed SpeedMAX Front Suspension System. Engineered specifically for 1967-1972 Chevrolet C10 and GMC C15 trucks, part number 032080-SDS uses truck-strength components rather than adapting car-based suspension hardware to a heavier pickup platform. Detroit Speed combines its exclusive suspension geometry with single-adjustable coilovers, Detroit Tuned rack and pinion steering, forged aluminum spindle assemblies, tubular control arms, and an upgraded sway bar to deliver confident handling and modern ride quality while supporting a 4 to 6-inch drop.
This 100% bolt-on 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, providing ride-height adjustment and spring-rate tuning without disassembling the control arms. The single-adjustable shock configuration adds suspension tuning capability while retaining excellent street ride quality. An ADI Austempered Ductile Iron upper shock bracket provides excellent wear resistance and fatigue strength, while forged-in-the-USA aluminum spindle assemblies incorporate modern hub-pack wheel bearings and dual wheel bolt patterns. Truck-specific tubular control arms with Delrin bushings, stainless steel upper control arm cross shafts with caster tuner bushings, and OE-style GMT800 brake architecture round out a comprehensive front suspension upgrade for performance-oriented C10 and C15 builds.
