I did this for my 1969 c10 and added a sway bar to the front and rear. Holy cow, does my truck handle better than a brand new Camaro! I can take the curves on my road and the truck never even leans and tracks so much better than I expected.
I recently got a 69 c19 myself too and I have a 6.0 lq4 with a 4l80e transmission and for the rear i have differential from a 03 suburban posi and was wondering what’s the link for the suspension
@@bsmith4641 If you're referring to your truck as a 1969 C10, the 1969 didn't have front disc brakes. The ball joints, I think, supplied with my kit were for a 1971. 1971 are different from 1969 ball joints. 1973, I think, are different from a '71-'72. So you'll need the disc system for a 1971-72 C10. I'm speculating on all of this information, so don't take my word for it. I'd call QA-1 and find out if I'm accurate or not to be sure. Good luck, you'll really dig the handling and braking when you're finished. It'll make you want to drive some curvy roads.
I just installed the same kit on my 86 C10. I put the same amount of shims in the upper control arm and still have too much negative camber but the length of the bolts are seemingly too short to add more shims. Any recommendations? I haven’t spoken to QA1 yet.
You prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Terrance Kabir I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I have got a brand new curry rear member and want front and rear QA-1 suspension installed. Also willwood brakes. Will you do this job for me? Im in Conn and can drive truck to you 1986 Silverado short bed low miles.
Are those the stock spindles or are they drop spindles? I am getting ready to do this to my truck but would like to keep the stock height and stock spindles. Great job! I am inspired!
We have drop spindles on the truck. We want the truck to be pretty low. I'm pretty sure no matter what if you do this the truck will be lowered some, but using the stock spindles will help it be closer to the stock height.
We are doing a lot of fab work to the truck still and plan on taking everything apart to sand and paint the whole frame once all our modifications are done.
It's being worked on slowly to the side. We have had other projects going on that have been taking up a lot of our time. I'm hoping to get an update video out soon with the progress that has been made.
This was the initial installation of the kit. The whole frame is going to be blasted and painted once all the fab work is complete. No point in cleaning up now if we are going to continue to grind paint off and weld.
Didn't want to take the time to clean and paint everything? Never understood why people spend time and money on nice parts and leave the original parts looking like shi*. Spent more time editing the video than taking care of the suspension components HAHAHAHAHA!!
Here we were installing the parts for the first time and getting it setup as a roller. Once we get everything setup the way we want it and all the cutting or frame modifications done we are going to tear everything off and refinish everything. We don’t want to do that now and cut it or grind later for welding and redo the finishing.
Did you just not actually watch the video? Literally said they were gonna get it Mocked up and then take it back apart for sandblast and what not. Idiot.
Great video
Nice work
Proud of youuuu 💕
nice, just ordered a set.
Best instructions on youtube
Good video

I'm doing this to mine as well. The instructions say I'll need a diff year disc brake kit. What did you do?

I want to buy this next month
Knock that bad boy out smooth great video im doing the same set up on my 78 impala
You should post link for the kit in the description
If i have djm 3” lowering control arms can I use the QA1 coilovers ? On my obs?

i want this kit for my C10 too....what is your engine set up and what spring rate do you choos? thx
If you do this kit your stuck buying ball joints and control arm bushings from QA1 FOREVER right?
How much was the whole kit if you don't mind me asking ?
Is there a camper or caster adjustment ?
How many shop hours for this conversion ?
What sway bar did you get ?
Actually you get bigger u bolts for the lower control arms, I did.
Thanks for posting the video, considering doing this same conversion wanted to know the level of difficulty.

Why not wire brush it and paint it when it's apart?
What about the rear?
Why didn’t you clean and paint front end and frame while you have everything off?

can you put the link for all the stuff you bought in this video? Nice setup
How tight should the ball joints be?
New ball joints should be pretty stiff/hard to pivot.
So what's the deal with the c10?
Is it pushed to the side for now
It's being worked on slowly to the side. We have had other projects going on that have been taking up a lot of our time. I'm hoping to get an update video out soon with the progress that has been made.
How much is that kit?
It's about $1800-$1900 ordered from summit racing
What's up with the c10?
Haven't worked on it in a while. We are hoping to get an update on it soon!
Didn’t do any detail work to the frame,suspension looks good but rest looks like shit. No pride put a little more work in to it!

It'd be a waste of time to dress everything up and then find out something doesn't fit or needs to be cut on.
