DSE SpeedMAX Front Suspension System - Non-Adjustable Shocks (032080DS) - 1967-1972 Chevrolet C10 / GMC C15 SBC
Transform the front end of your classic GM pickup with the Detroit Speed SpeedMAX Front Suspension System, engineered specifically around the strength, weight, and demands of a truck platform. Designed for 1967-1972 Chevrolet C10 and GMC C15 pickups, part number 032080DS combines Detroit Speed's exclusive suspension geometry with non-adjustable Detroit Tuned coilovers, rack and pinion steering, forged aluminum spindle assemblies, truck-specific tubular control arms, and a performance sway bar. Rather than adapting car-based suspension components to a pickup, SpeedMAX uses truck-strength components to deliver modern steering response, improved handling, excellent ride quality, and a properly lowered stance.
This 100% bolt-on system can be installed 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 while supporting a 4 to 6-inch drop. The non-adjustable shock configuration provides Detroit Speed's pre-engineered damping without requiring the driver to make external shock adjustments. An ADI Austempered Ductile Iron upper shock bracket provides excellent wear resistance and fatigue strength, while forged-in-the-USA aluminum spindle assemblies use modern hub-pack wheel bearings and OE-style GMT800 brake architecture. Tubular upper and lower control arms with Delrin bushings, stainless steel cross shafts with caster tuner bushings, and an upgraded sway bar complete a package designed to make a lowered C10 or C15 handle with far more confidence.
