DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - Bolt-In Axle Brackets - Non-Adjustable Shocks (041750DS) - 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 041750DS replaces the factory trailing-arm suspension with Detroit Speed's performance-focused 4-link geometry, giving your Squarebody improved rear axle control, ride quality, handling, and the ability to dial in the truck's stance. This version combines non-adjustable coilover shocks with bolt-in axle brackets for a 100 percent bolt-on installation that does not require welding.
At the heart of the system is Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology paired with tuned high-durometer rubber bushings, allowing the suspension to articulate smoothly and quietly without binding. A horizontal adjustable track bar precisely locates the rear axle laterally during hard cornering and provides roll-center control at different ride heights. The included rear crossmembers add strength and rigidity to the rear frame structure, while adjustable upper shock mounts and the supplied C-Notch components provide the clearance and geometry needed to take advantage of the system's 5-inch to 7.5-inch drop range.

FAQs
Does DSE 041750DS require welding?
No. The 041750DS configuration uses bolt-in axle brackets and is designed by Detroit Speed as a 100 percent bolt-on installation. This distinguishes it from QUADRALink configurations that use weld-in axle brackets.
How much can the DSE 041750DS lower a C10 or C15?
Detroit Speed specifies an adjustable ride-height range from 5 inches to 7.5 inches of drop, allowing the truck's stance to be tailored while maintaining the intended QUADRALink suspension geometry.
Can the pinion angle be adjusted with the QUADRALink installed?
Yes. Detroit Speed's Swivel-Links allow the pinion angle and/or wheelbase to be adjusted without unbolting the link from the truck, making setup and suspension tuning more straightforward.
