Bolt-On 4-Link
-
- Greatly improves traction, handling, and ride quality.
- Suspension geometry improvements include optimized roll center and adjustable anti-squat (41% – 109%).
- The R-Joint rod ends combine the best qualities of low friction movement, lateral stability, full range articulation, and quiet operation into one special bearing that is as home on the street as it is on the racetrack!
- Installation does not require any major modifications to the floor pan and requires only minimal welding to the axle tube.
- Front lower bar mount reinforces leaf spring bucket and integrates with Ridetech subframe connector

- HQ Series Shockwaves utilize an impact forged aluminum body and Monotube design to deliver excellent ride quality and handling. They allow fine-tuning of the ride quality and handling via the rebound adjustment knob, located at the top of the shock for under hood access. They come standard with a 1,000,0001 Mile Warranty.
- TQ Series Shockwaves The remote reservoir triple adjustable coil-over shocks feature rebound adjustment along with dual-stage (High Speed & Low Speed) compression adjustment.

Compressor System Options:
-
- Adjust vehicle height at the push of a button while maintaining balanced air springs. The RidePro E5 control system tunes air ride suspension for proper handling and world-class ride quality by way of sophisticated pressure and height algorithms. Each time your turn the ignition key, RidePro E5 self-adjusts to ride height and compensates for changes in load. Whether you are driving alone to work or on your way to a show with a car or truckload of friends, RidePro E5 will calculate proper air spring rate and balance, then work diligently in the background to maintain proper spring pressures and vehicle height. The Full-color TFT LCD. 3.5” display with capacitive touchscreen make interacting with the control system quick and easy. Adjusting vehicle height is as simple as choosing one of three presets. Connect a compatible smartphone via Bluetooth and use the RidePRO E5 app to control the system wirelessly.
- We offer our air suspension control systems as a pre-assembled, all-in-one module as the “AirPOD” or, you can purchase the RidePRO E5 systems as a component kit you can install how you like. Both paths provide the same performance and features, the AirPod can be installed a few hours quicker, but the flexibility of mounting individual components in locations of your choosing can be advantageous in some applications.
