DSE Front Speed Kit 2 (032087DS) - 1973-1987 Chevrolet C10 / GMC C15 Trucks
Take your Squarebody's stance and handling to the next level with the Detroit Speed Front Speed Kit 2. Designed for 1973-1987 Chevrolet C10 and GMC C15 2WD trucks, part number 032087DS combines a substantial 4.5-inch front drop with upgraded shocks, springs, spindles, steering components, and a high-performance sway bar. The result is a 100% bolt-on package that gives your classic GM truck a more aggressive stance while improving handling, body control, and overall road manners.
The 4.5-inch overall front drop combines 2-inch drop coil springs with 2.5-inch drop spindle assemblies featuring Made-in-the-USA Detroit Speed forged aluminum uprights and forged steel steering arms. Modern GMT800-style truck hub-pack wheel bearings eliminate the need to pack traditional front wheel bearings while providing dual 5 x 5-inch and 5 x 4.75-inch wheel bolt patterns. The system is designed around 1999-2006 GMT800 Silverado brake architecture for OE-style or compatible aftermarket brake options. Speed Kit 2 also adds a 1-7/16-inch diameter hollow tubular sway bar with a 0.188-inch wall that is 127% stiffer than the factory sway bar, giving the truck significantly greater resistance to body roll during cornering.
