A component designed to modify the mounting position of the dampening devices on a specific series of General Motors trucks, manufactured between 1973 and 1987, allows for altered suspension geometry. This alteration is typically implemented on the Chevrolet C10 pickup and similar models within that production timeframe. It involves moving the placement of the components that control the vehicle’s ability to absorb impacts during transit.
The primary advantage of this type of modification is enhanced suspension performance, especially when the vehicle’s ride height has been lowered. It corrects the shock angle, maximizing the effectiveness of the dampening action and improving overall ride quality. Historically, this alteration became popular as enthusiasts began modifying these trucks for improved handling and aesthetics, often involving lowering the chassis.
