LevelSetT 1963-87 Fits Chevy C10 Coilover Conversion Kit, witho Shocks

  

LevelSetT 1963-87 Chevy C10 Coilover Conversion Kit, w/o Shocks. High strength steel mounting brackets made from 5/16-inch and 7-gauge steel plate. No welding required, installation is a complete bolt-in solution. Includes upper and lower coilover shock adapter/conversion plates with hardware. Mounting brackets powder coated black for a sleek look and corrosion resistance. All it takes is a quick look under a race car, Pro Touring muscle car, or a pre-war hot rod to spot a set of coilover shocks. However, these applications often feature an OE shock (or strut) mounting position that allows for a coilover shock (or strut) to simply be a direct bolt-in replacement. That or the vehicle may be running an aftermarket full frame or front subframe setup designed for coilover shock use. In the case of some vehicles, like the First, Second, and Third generation Chevy C10 suspension, the OEM front suspension design does not provide for a bolt-in replacement shock solution, as the front shock is mounted between a frame stud and the lower control arm outside of the upper and lower control arm and coil spring arrangement. While this makes servicing the OE shock easy, the aft mounting points do not allow for a simple C10 coilover kit conversion. Our bolt-in C10 coilover conversion kit provides a cost effective coilover shock solution using easy to install upper and lower adapter brackets mounted to the lower control arm and the truck's frame. Laser Cut Steel Brackets Provide a Precise Fit and High Strength Mounting Solution.

The mounting plates are designed to be used with our C10 tubular control arms and align with factory mounting holes for the OE upper control arms on the frame rail and the new lower control arm's steel spring cup support plate that spans the tubular arm. Drilling/grinding of the old upper control arm rivets and grinding/cutting a clearance opening on the crossmember's coil spring cup for coilover shock body/spring clearance is required and can be accomplished with standard automotive tools like a die grinder, small belt sander, or rotary tool. No welding or other fabrication needs are required to add our C10 coilover kit. The upper and lower coilover mounts are powder coated satin black for a great appearance and corrosion protection from the elements. All mounting hardware is included for a complete bolt-in C10 coilover conversion mounting solution.

Complete The Job with Our Tubular Control Arms and AFCO Pro Touring Coilover Shocks. Stock stamped steel lower control arms or other brands of tubular lower control arms are not guaranteed to work with these brackets for proper fitment and shock mounting angle. If you're already using our tubular control arms on your C10 all you will need to do is swap the bolt-on lower control arm spring pocket for our coilover shock lower mounting bracket and then perform the necessary upper spring cup modifications for coilover shock clearance when installing the upper coilover shock bracket. We designed our C10 coilover conversion brackets around these shocks, however, you may use any coilover shock with the same specs, which is 14-inch extended length and a 4-inch stroke with 1-inch wide rod ends top and bottom. For C10 coilover kit springs, we recommend something with an 8-inch free height with a 2.50-inch inside diameter. Spring rates will vary depending on your application, but generally 650-850 lb/in rate range is best for the C10. We offer Shop Eibach and Ridetech 8-inch/2.5-inch ID Coilover Springs fitments to complement the AFCO 1340CT recommended coilover shocks for this conversion kit. Alternatively, you may choose to go the kit route (PN 91039304) with these coilover shock brackets, the AFCO coilover shocks, and your choice of Hypercoil spring rates, along with the correct tubular control arms for your year truck and save yourself the hassle of choosing everything separately.

Does not include tubular control arms or coilover shocks, this is just the bracket kit. Related Items / Suggested Parts. 63-87 Chevy C10 Coilover Shock Conversion Kit, w/ Shocks, 850 LB. 63-87 Chevy C10 Coilover Shock Conversion Kit, w/ Shocks, 650 LB.
