DSE Track Bar and Shock Relocation Kit (040118DS) - 1967-1972 Chevrolet C10 with Truck Arms and Rear Coil Springs
Get the rear suspension geometry of your lowered C10 working the way it should with the Detroit Speed Track Bar and Shock Relocation Kit. Designed for 1967-1972 Chevrolet C10 trucks equipped with factory truck arms and rear coil springs, part number 040118DS combines an adjustable track bar, relocated shock mounts, and non-adjustable drop shocks to improve rear axle control, cornering, and ride quality on trucks lowered 4 inches or more. Instead of accepting the axle offset and compromised shock travel that can come with lowering the factory suspension, this system is engineered specifically around the geometry of a lowered truck.
The adjustable track bar uses cross-axis pivot bushings and allows the rear axle to be centered by changing the bar length. Detroit Speed also lengthens and levels the track bar to improve rear stability, while multiple mounting positions provide roll center adjustment for fine-tuning handling. Relocated shock mounts restore proper shock travel and control while maintaining ground clearance and creating additional room for exhaust routing. The included non-adjustable drop shocks are engineered for lowered applications and pair especially well with Detroit Speed lowering springs.

FAQs
What does the adjustable track bar on DSE 040118DS do?
The adjustable track bar allows you to center the rear axle under a lowered truck, helping eliminate the axle offset that can occur when lowering a C10 with the factory track bar. Its relocated mounting positions also provide multiple roll center adjustments for handling tuning.
How low should my truck be for DSE 040118DS?
Detroit Speed designed the included non-adjustable drop shocks and relocation system for trucks lowered 4 inches or more. The relocated shock mounts provide proper shock travel and improved control at the lowered ride height.
Are there exhaust or differential cover restrictions with DSE 040118DS?
Yes. The track bar location allows 3-inch exhaust to pass above the track bar on the passenger side, but a factory-style differential cover is required for the necessary differential and exhaust clearance. Oversize aluminum differential covers do not provide the required clearance.
