Description

55-59 Truck Air Ride Front Clip & Backhalf - #110-8100-A

This complete front and rear air ride suspension package replaces the original front and rear chassis sections on 1955-1959 Chevy and GMC trucks with a modern, fully engineered air ride system designed to lay the frame and improve handling, stance, and drivability. This product bundles both the front clip and rear back half into one purchase for a matched suspension solution. 

Both kits are engineered and manufactured at our facility in Chandler, Arizona using Amada laser-cut and CNC-formed ASTM A1011 components to ensure consistent fitment and strength.
