DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - No Axle Brackets - Single-Adjustable Shocks (041752-SDS) - 1973 - 1987 Chevrolet C10 / GMC C15
Bring modern rear suspension performance and useful shock tuning to your 1973-1987 Chevrolet C10 or GMC C15 with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. DSE 041752-SDS replaces the factory trailing-arm suspension with Detroit Speed's performance-focused 4-link geometry, giving your Squarebody improved rear axle control, handling, ride quality, and stance. This version includes single-adjustable coilover shocks but does not include axle brackets, making it the right configuration for a build using a rear-end assembly already equipped with the required QUADRALink axle mounting provisions.
Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology combines with tuned high-durometer rubber bushings to let the suspension articulate smoothly and quietly without binding. The horizontal adjustable track bar precisely controls lateral rear axle location during hard cornering and allows roll-center adjustment at different ride heights, while the rear crossmembers add strength and rigidity to the rear body and frame section. 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 maintaining excellent street ride quality. An adjustable 5-inch to 7.5-inch drop range, coilover springs, adjustable upper shock mounts, and C-Notch provisions complete a package designed to give your C10 or C15 the stance and suspension control to match the rest of the build.
