55-59 Truck Air Ride Front Clip

1955-1959 Truck Air Ride Front Clip - #110-8100-F-A

**This product will have a lead time; please call to verify expected wait**

The GSI 1955-1959 Chevy/GMC Front Kit replaces the entire front frame rails and suspension, providing a modern air ride system for improved ride quality, handling, and stance. Unlike our C10 front kits that only replace the crossmember, this kit is a full front clip, requiring removal of the stock front chassis section.

The system is engineered for frame-laying capability, precise suspension geometry, and compatibility with wide wheels and modern engines while maintaining a clean, weld-in installation experience.

Engineered for Frame-Laying & Ride Quality

Designed and manufactured in-house at our Chandler, Arizona facility, all components are laser-cut and CNC-formed to ensure proper fitment and repeatable results. Updated suspension geometry minimizes camber change through travel, reduces bump steer, and provides predictable steering feel.

The crossmember accommodates stock clamshell motor mounts for GM 350 engines. LS engines are compatible with an LS-to-SBC adapter plate. Tie rod adapters are custom-designed for use with 73-87 spindles, requiring no spindle modification.
