RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits

[INSIDIOUS '86]

I'm assuming these will cross over to square body 73-87-(91)trucks?

What's the ground clearance on them vs stock arms?
Factory ball joints used? And how does one mount sway bars?

We are getting ready to size the front up on the 73-87. I will keep you posted on the fitment.
They will use a factory style ball joints.
The arms are designed to utilize our sway bars.

I've read the primary difference beween 67-72 control arms and 73-87 control arms is the steel bushings were replaced with rubber bushings. The rubber bushings are softer for a smoother, but less controlled ride. Most tubular control arms use urethane, delrin, or other hard plastic bushings. I was also told that 73-87 control arms could be mounted on a 67-72 C10.
Can someone tell me why would Ridetech need to develop a different set up for the 73-87 C10?
Thanks

We just need to confirm fitment for the new upper mount.

Without changing the stock cross member you are limited on the amount of drop that is available.

As far as the 73-87 trucks go, we have had a couple of customers use the kit. It requires drilling an additional hole and slotting the hole on the upper front brackets. In the future runs of parts this will be addressed.
