Detroit Speed is proud to offer a new line of suspension products for Chevrolet C10 truck enthusiasts! Continuing to
reinforce thoughtfully designed products and modern-day ride quality, we ensure each driver, whether cruising or
hauling, will enjoy the look and feel of their truck.
The Detroit Speed C10 SpeedMAX front suspension is designed for a truck using truck strength parts and not car
strength parts. It is designed with no compromises and exclusive DSE suspension geometry for superior handling and
ride quality at a lowered ride height. This 100% bolt-on front suspension system is based on the later model GMT800
(1999-2006) Silverado truck application. The system utilizes the OE-style GMT800 brake design, which allows for
stock or aftermarket brake options. Versions are available with non-adjustable, single adjustable, and dual adjustable
shocks.
