That separation of jobs is exactly why torque arm and 3-link\/4-link style rear suspensions dominate on trucks that see real performance driving instead of just parade laps at a car show.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoppin' Block builds this system to match your specific rear axle - correctly specify whether you're running a 10-bolt or the beefier 14-bolt (454SS) rear end, since the mounting geometry differs between the two. You'll also choose your coilover setup: skip coilovers if you're sourcing your own or already have a plan, or select a matched package from Aldan, QA1, or Ridetech for a complete, engineered system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a serious rear suspension conversion, not a bolt-in-five-minutes part - budget for some bracket welding to the axle housing alongside the frame-side bolt-on mounting points. A shop experienced with torque arm and 3-link conversions will get the geometry right the first time, which matters since incorrect torque arm angle and length will fight you with poor anti-squat characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chevrolet C1500 2WD 1988-1998.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAxle options:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10-Bolt or 14-Bolt (454SS).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoilover options:\u003c\/strong\u003e No Coil Overs, Aldan Coil Overs, QA1 Coil Overs, or Ridetech Coil Overs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Axle style and coilover brand affect final configuration and pricing - please contact us before ordering so we can confirm your exact setup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Choppin Block","offers":[{"title":"No Coil Overs (Contact to Specify Axle Style)","offer_id":58143942049952,"sku":"CB-TORQUEARM-NOCO","price":2586.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With Coil Overs (Aldan\/QA1\/Ridetech - Contact to Specify)","offer_id":58143942082720,"sku":"CB-TORQUEARM-WCO","price":3709.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9720\/2848\/files\/choppin-block-torque-arm-rear-c1500.jpg?v=1783212200","url":"https:\/\/obsrevivalparts.com\/products\/choppin-block-performance-torque-arm-rear-suspension-system-1988-1998-chevy-gmc-c1500","provider":"OBS Revival Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
