Product Description

The Ridetech 11060297 is a complete HQ air suspension system engineered for compatible 1959-1964 Chevrolet B-Body vehicles. The system combines front and rear CoolRide air springs, HQ Series adjustable shocks, tubular StrongArms, performance sway bars and an adjustable Panhard bar to provide a substantially lower ride height while maintaining controlled handling and ride quality.

The front StrongArms feature corrected ball-joint geometry and increased caster capability, while the rear StrongArms use R-Joint technology to reduce suspension bind. Firestone air springs and application-specific mounting brackets provide adjustable ride height, and the rear Panhard bar helps center the axle at the selected height. The system requires the specified stock spindles and a separate compatible compressor system for operation.
