Hey everyone, Dave Kass here with QA1, here to show you our C10 suspension
system. This chassis, we painted this white to really highlight and show the
components that we can help you with. If you have a two-wheel drive C10 or a GMC,
on the front we have here is we have an option to convert your truck to a full
coil over setup. So with the minimal modification you can take your truck,
bolt in an upper and lower control arm set up with a bracket that allows you to
go to a full coil-over. If you don't want to go all over, that's fine because we do
have an option for a traditional style drop spring, which is nice. On the
coil-over set up you have the option to go from your stock height all the way down
to about two and a half inches lower and then if you use a drop spindle you have
options to go all the way up to five inches. So this setup right now as it sits you're
sitting about five inches lower. Now it's a full tubular design on the control
arms. It gives you seven degrees of caster and the caster gain took your
truck from what was about one degree of caster, like mine had my 72 had for
instance, and brings it to seven. The drivability is greatly enhanced. So just
driving the truck is just so much more enjoyment with it. It handles much better.
Better straight line stability. You're not chasing the wheel as much as you once
were. So just that change alone by doing the upper and lower control arms just
major drivability enhancements. Not to mention when you pair it with a nice
shock and spring, like we have here with the QA1 setup, it just brings it into the
modern day age, which is awesome. Pair that with the QA1 sway bar and you
have a truck here now that's doing things a truck should not do while
riding as good as it does. Now this spindle that we designed the system to work
with is for your square body spindles. So your 73 to 87 spindles and
that's because your earlier trucks were mostly drum and there's some different
ball joint changes and whatnot. So most of the time if you're going to go forth and
do a nice suspension setup like this, you're gonna be going to a disc style
front brake setup. So if you're gonna be changing your brakes make sure you go to
a square body 73 to 87 spindle. Moving to the back what we have here is we have an
option to go with a full tubular style trailing arm with a really nice
integrated pinion angle adjustment so you can change your pinion angle
depending on what bride height you want. Or you have options to go with your
stock truck arm but still get the benefits of having a coil over. Now, all
of the coil-over systems, whether you do the stock truck arm or you do the full
tubular truck arm options, allow you to go to a full length panhard bar system.
As most of you know, these trucks came with a panhard bar that is about this long.
Truthfully it went from one frame rail to the pumpkin. It was really, really
short. And so, as such, when you lower these trucks down and you really throw
the car or the truck hard into a corner it can pull that axle off center. So
we've done there is we've made sure to address that issue and incorporated that
longer panhard bar right into the system right from the get-go. The coil-overs are
mounted on the outside of the frame rails, which is really important. So the
widest we could go while still allowing a big tire to be put on the back of these
vehicles, so that you have better stability as you get drive these trucks,
throw them into a corner, have fun with them. And also, we have an option for a
rear sway bar. So again, depending on how far you want to take your truck, if it's
going to be more of a driver, or if it's going to be more of a competitive type of setup
you do have those options. Now our full tubular version that we have here is
also really nice because we built into our upper bracket for the coil-over mount
an integrated C-notch. So, simple cut there in the frame and you have the
capability of going up to six inches lower than stock so you can really get
this truck down on the ground, get that wheel in the wheel well, where you want
it, and it's just a really nice setup. So it will work with the 12 bolt system
like you would traditionally have these trucks, it also does work with the nine
inches as long as you take your your truck arm saddle that's on your axle and
make sure that's relocated to the same spot. And one thing that's also really nice
is we built this system around a truck that had a rear-mounted gas tank. As most of
you know, these trucks right from the factory had the gas tank right behind
the seat. And for weight distribution, safety, and other reasons almost
everybody's me looking to move the tank towards the rear. And one of the nicest
features, all of this can be installed with the bed of the truck on. Now,
for display purposes, of course, the bed is not on this chassis, but for someone in their
garage on a Saturday afternoon, you don't have to go find four or five
people to help you lift the bed off, and find a place to store it. You can install
this system with the bed on it. So very very straightforward. Very, very easy to
do. And, you know, we took a lot of time and effort thinking about our packaging
to make this a system that you could bolt in your truck on a Saturday afternoon and
completely and totally change how it drives, rides, and handles. So, for more
