DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - Weld-In Axle Brackets - Non-Adjustable Shocks (041754DS) - 1967 - 1972 Chevrolet C10 / GMC C15
Transform the rear suspension of your 1967-1972 Chevrolet C10 or GMC C15 with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. DSE 041754DS replaces the original truck-arm rear suspension with Detroit Speed's performance-focused 4-link geometry, delivering improved rear axle control, handling, ride quality, and stance. This configuration combines non-adjustable DSE/Fox coilover shocks with weld-on axle brackets designed for 3-inch diameter axle tubes, making it an excellent foundation for a classic GM truck being built around a compatible rear axle.
Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology works with tuned high-durometer rubber bushings to allow the suspension to articulate smoothly and quietly without binding. An adjustable horizontal track bar provides precise 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. The system includes adjustable Swivel-Links, non-adjustable coilover shocks, coilover springs, frame notch components, chassis brackets, and installation hardware. With an adjustable 5.5-inch to 7.5-inch drop range and a weld-in axle-bracket design, 041754DS gives a properly equipped C10 or C15 the suspension geometry and stance needed for a more capable street and performance build.

Fitment Notes
DSE 041754DS is designed for 2-wheel-drive 1967-1972 Chevrolet C10 and GMC C15 trucks originally equipped with truck-arm and coil-spring rear suspension. It does not fit trucks originally equipped with leaf-spring rear suspension. The weld-on axle brackets are designed for rear axles with 3-inch diameter axle tubes. GMC applications must have been factory equipped with the optional truck-arm and coil-spring rear suspension. C20 and C25 trucks equipped with the correct factory suspension can also use the QUADRALink system, although load capacity will be reduced. Basic fabrication skills including measuring, cutting, and drilling are required. Detroit Speed identifies Holley fuel tank 19-185 as compatible with the QUADRALink rear suspension. The suspension system and compatible fuel tank require custom exhaust routing.
