DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - No Axle Brackets - Non-Adjustable Shocks (041752DS) - 1973 - 1987 Chevrolet C10 / GMC C15
Upgrade the rear suspension of your 1973-1987 Chevrolet C10 or GMC C15 with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. DSE 041752DS replaces the factory trailing-arm rear suspension with Detroit Speed's performance-focused 4-link geometry, giving your Squarebody improved rear axle control, handling, ride quality, and stance. This configuration includes non-adjustable coilover shocks but does not include axle brackets, making it the correct QUADRALink package for builds using a rear-end housing already equipped with the required Detroit Speed axle brackets.
Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology combines with tuned high-durometer rubber bushings to allow the suspension to articulate with smooth, quiet motion while avoiding the binding associated with less sophisticated link designs. A horizontal adjustable track bar provides precise lateral rear axle location during hard cornering and allows roll-center control at different ride heights. Rear crossmembers add strength and rigidity to the rear body and frame structure, while the adjustable upper shock mounts can be repositioned to accommodate changes in ride height without sacrificing available shock travel. With an adjustable 5-inch to 7.5-inch drop range, coilover shocks and springs, C-Notch provisions, and Detroit Speed's integrated 4-link geometry, 041752DS gives performance-focused C10 and C15 builds a complete suspension foundation without duplicating axle brackets already installed on the rear-end housing.

Fitment Notes
DSE 041752DS is designed for 1973-1987 Chevrolet C10 and GMC C15 applications. Axle brackets are not included with this configuration. Detroit Speed's installation instructions direct 041752DS installations past the axle-bracket installation procedures, the same as a rear-end housing supplied with the required Detroit Speed axle brackets already installed. This makes 041752DS the appropriate configuration when the rear-end assembly already has the necessary QUADRALink axle mounting provisions.
