1955 to 1959 chevy truck front suspension
TIPS FOR BUILDING A CLASSIC Chevy TRUCK WITH AIR RIDE SUSPENSION
There are many Key factors that affect air ride suspension fit on the 1955 to 1959 Chevy Trucks and the front end suspension. Some of the key factors are fitment of motor, tire height, tire width, wheel offset and backspace, spindle model year and type of fenders and firewall. GSI’s kits are designed to accommodate a common set-up; slight variances can occur with fenders and the firewall.
We recommend purchasing your air ride suspension first, and then purchasing wheels and a motor that will fit your suspension. Suspension is designed to accommodate motor and wheel sizes; it is not a one type fits all sizes. GSI suspension kits and frames are designed for SB/LS based engines, other engines will require extra modifications.
THE '63-72 FRONT SUSPENSION KIT REQUIRES '71-72 SPINDLES.
Save yourself time & money and purchase components that fit your suspension. Be sure to have your suspension installed by a certified installer that is familiar with air ride suspension. Always test fit everything before paint or powder-coat.
