Ridetech Bolt-On 4-Link Suspension System for 2007-2018 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500
The Ridetech Bolt-On 4-Link Suspension System, MPN 11707199, replaces the factory rear leaf springs on 2007-2018 Silverado and Sierra 1500 trucks with a 4-link setup for improved traction, reduced body roll, and a lower stance. The kit uses 1.25 inch diameter steel upper and lower link bars, an adjustable panhard bar to center the rear axle, and patent-pending R-Joint rod ends to reduce noise and binding compared to conventional rod ends. Ride height drops approximately 6 inches at static height, with up to 9 inches of drop available when used with fully deflated Shockwaves.
