Front System
CoolRide®
The CoolRide® system consists of an airspring, a shock absorber, and all of the necessary mounting brackets and hardware. The rear system is very simple to install with the airspring and shock absorber replacing the coil-spring and shock in the stock locations.
STRONGARM™
StrongArm tubular control arms not only improve suspension geometry and handling, they also make installation even easier. The added benefit when replacing control arms is new bushings and ball joints. No more worn out components.
MuscleBar
The most overlooked suspension component is also one of the most important. The magic you could be missing in your suspension may be nothing more than simply adding or upgrading your swaybar. The new Musclebar sway bars were developed specifically for lowered vehicles and will greatly enhance the cornering performance of your vehicle ( Not to mention they’ll also make some vehicles safer at the speeds we travel on today’s interstate highways.
Ridetech Tall Spindles
It is called a TALL Spindle because the upper ball joint is raised 1-1/2″. Different from the factory design, it yields a better camber change during suspension movement. Pivot points are determined by the ball joints on the spindles and bushing locations on the frame, not the control arms. These spindles are STEEL, the strongest ones in the industry.
Billet Tie Rod Adjusters
Strong, easy to adjust and look cool too. Large wrench flats on both ends provide an easy way to dial your suspension anodized aluminum finish provides long lasting good looks.
Rear System
AirBAR®
The area of largest improvement is the handling and cornering performance. The AirBAR® eliminates the oem leafspring and replaces them with a 4 link rear suspension. The 4 link bars offer more precise positioning of the rear axle to eliminate flexing and increase stability through the corners. When combined with a ShockWave® or CoolRide® front suspension kit your vehicle can now enjoy the benefits of modern handling and ride quality technology.
Control System
RidePro® Digital
The Level 2 package comes equipped with Ridetech’s Airpod Digital compressor system outfitted with 2 compressors and a 5 gallon tank, and includes level sensors for increased accuracy.
