Lower Your Truck Without Sacrificing Ride Quality
Most drop kits trade handling for stance. Ridetech's HQ Series front coil-overs give 2007 to 2018 Silverado and Sierra 1500 4WD trucks a factory-smooth ride at a lowered height, with 24 positions of rebound adjustment so the driver can fine tune compression and rebound for daily driving, towing light loads, or weekend cruising. Part number RID11703115 is designed for trucks running stock lower control arms, so there is no need to source aftermarket arms to complete the install.
Key Features
- Impact forged, hard anodized aluminum shock bodies resist corrosion and reduce unsprung weight versus stamped steel shocks
- Monotube design with a large 1.834 inch piston and heavy duty 5/8 inch shaft for consistent damping under load
- 24 position rebound adjustment knob accessible without removing the shock
- Includes Hyperco coil springs matched to the correct spring rate for a 1 to 2 inch front drop, or 3 to 4 inches combined with 2 inch drop spindles
- Direct replacement for OEM front shocks and springs using factory mounting points
- 1,000,001 mile warranty backed by Ridetech

FAQ
What is the RID11703115?The RID11703115 is a Ridetech HQ Series front coil-over pair for 2007-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 4WD trucks running stock lower control arms. It replaces the factory front shocks and springs to lower ride height 1 to 2 inches while keeping rebound adjustable ride quality.
Does this kit work with stock control arms?Yes. This specific part number is designed to bolt in using the factory lower control arms, so no aftermarket arms are required.
How much does this lower the front end?Expect a 1 to 2 inch front drop on its own. Adding 2 inch drop spindles increases total front drop to roughly 3 to 4 inches.
Is this kit adjustable after installation?Yes. Each shock has a rebound adjustment knob with 24 positions, accessible without removing the shock from the truck.
Will this affect ride quality for daily driving?The monotube design and Hyperco springs are tuned to maintain a comfortable ride while lowered, which is why many owners run this kit as a daily driver rather than a show-only setup.
Does this fit 2WD trucks?No. RID11703115 is built specifically for 4WD Silverado and Sierra 1500 trucks. 2WD applications require a different Ridetech part number.
What springs come with this kit?Each shock ships with a Hyperco coil spring matched to the correct spring rate for the intended ride height, so there is no need to source springs separately.
What is the warranty on these coil-overs?Ridetech backs the HQ Series with a 1,000,001 mile warranty.
