C10 with Hydraulic Suspension Can Lay Frame and Carve Corners
Throwing the parts on the car presented some hiccups, but overall the install looked very easy. Clearance for the headers of the supercharged LSA V8 was compromised by the new front clip, which was considerably narrower, but also incorporated a unique through-the-frame front sway bar to maximize the new handling of the C10.
Out back was where most of the work had to take place, with the hydraulic pump, and single battery system. With the hydraulic system not being affected by road irregularities, it also stands to be much more reliable as well. Seals will last longer, and you can leave it at any height without worry of leaks due to the dual valve system. They made sure to point out what makes this setup different: “On this set here, there’s neutral pressure between both valves, which almost never leaks”
After some truck bed fab work for access to the pump and plumbing, we get to see the C10 with all body panels on it for the first time, but we don’t get to see it running yet. We’ll stay tuned for more updates as this build is going to be incredible once completed.
