Ridetech 4"/6" StreetGrip Suspension System - 1988-1998 Chevy C1500

If you want your OBS to look slammed and actually handle like a modern performance truck, Ridetech's StreetGrip Suspension System is the complete answer. This is a full front-to-rear system engineered around a 4" front, 6" rear drop, but unlike a basic drop kit, StreetGrip is built around Ridetech's performance-tuned coilovers and shocks, delivering handling that feels genuinely sharp, not just low.

Ridetech built its name on the idea that a lowered truck shouldn't have to ride or handle worse than stock, and this system proves it. Every component, from the front coilovers to the rear shock package, is valved and tuned specifically for the added weight and geometry of these trucks at this ride height, so you get flat, controlled cornering instead of the wallowy, bouncy ride that comes from a cheap universal drop kit.

This is the system serious OBS builders reach for when they want a truck that looks radical in the parking lot and then genuinely impresses on a back road or at an autocross. It's a significant step up in both capability and price from a basic spring-and-shackle drop kit, but the difference in ride quality and handling is immediately obvious the first time you drive it.

Fits 1988-1998 Chevy C1500 trucks. Installation is a substantial suspension job best handled by a shop experienced with Ridetech systems or a builder with serious suspension fabrication experience, given the number of components and the precision required to get everything dialed in correctly.

If you've been chasing the perfect balance of stance and performance for your OBS build, this is one of the most complete, proven systems on the market to get you there, a true handling upgrade that happens to also deliver one of the most aggressive stances available for these trucks.
