DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - Bolt-In Axle Brackets - Single-Adjustable Shocks (041750-SDS) - 1973 - 1987 Chevrolet C10 / GMC C15
Transform the rear suspension of your 1973-1987 Chevrolet C10 or GMC C15 with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. DSE 041750-SDS upgrades the factory trailing-arm rear suspension with Detroit Speed's performance-focused 4-link geometry, combining improved rear axle control, handling, ride quality, and stance with the added tuning capability of single-adjustable coilover shocks. The bolt-in axle bracket configuration makes this a 100 percent bolt-on system, giving Squarebody owners a comprehensive rear suspension upgrade without requiring welding.
Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology works with tuned high-durometer rubber bushings to let the suspension articulate smoothly and quietly without binding. The horizontal adjustable track bar precisely locates the rear axle laterally during hard cornering and provides roll-center control at different ride heights, while the rear crossmembers add strength and rigidity to the rear frame structure. Single-adjustable shocks feature Detroit Tuned valving plus an installed rebound adjustment knob, allowing you to fine-tune shock response with a simple adjustment while retaining excellent street ride quality. With an adjustable 5-inch to 7.5-inch drop range, adjustable upper shock mounts, coilover springs, and included C-Notch components, 041750-SDS delivers the hardware and adjustability needed to dial in both the stance and rear suspension performance of your C10 or C15.
