DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - No Axle Brackets (041759DS) - 1982 - 2003 Chevrolet S10 / GMC S15 / Sonoma 2WD
Give your 1982-2003 Chevrolet S10, GMC S15, or GMC Sonoma 2WD the rear suspension geometry, traction, and adjustability of a true performance 4-link with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. DSE 041759DS replaces the factory leaf-spring arrangement with an engineered parallel 4-link system designed to sharpen handling, improve traction, reduce axle wrap and wheel hop, and deliver consistent ride quality. QA1 double-adjustable coilover shocks provide 18 clicks of compression and rebound adjustment, giving you the tuning range to dial in the truck for street driving, hard launches, cornering, or a combination of all three.
This 041759DS configuration is supplied without axle brackets, making it ideal for builders using a compatible Detroit Speed rear housing or custom axle setup with the required QUADRALink provisions already in place. Detroit Speed pairs its parallel 4-link geometry with patented Swivel-Link technology, adjustable anti-squat, and an adjustable track bar for precise lateral axle control and roll-center tuning. A built-in frame notch and crossmember provide the clearance, suspension travel, and structural rigidity needed for the system's 5-inch to 6-inch lowered ride height. Combined with Detroit Speed-spec 200 pounds per inch coilover springs, the system delivers the stance you want without giving up the suspension function a serious performance truck needs.
