Ridetech HQ Series Rear ShockWaves 5in Travel 4in dia Rolling Sleeve .625 Bearing/2in Stud

If you're looking to give your classic vehicle a completely custom stance and ride quality, the Ridetech HQ Series Rear ShockWaves are a serious consideration. These aren't just air springs; they're a complete, integrated shock absorber and air spring system designed to give you precise control over your vehicle's ride height and damping. You get a smooth, comfortable ride when cruising and the ability to lower your vehicle for a killer look, all from one well-built package.

The HQ Series shocks feature a 7000 Series shock absorber with a 5.2-inch stroke, providing ample travel for a comfortable ride. The air spring component uses a 4-inch diameter rolling sleeve, which is a popular choice for its smooth operation and ability to handle significant air pressure. You'll also find rebound adjustability on the shocks, allowing you to fine-tune how quickly the suspension returns after compression. This means you can dial in the firmness to match your driving style and road conditions. The kit includes bearing spacers for both 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch mounting points, and the fittings for the air lines are 1/4-inch.

Installation involves mounting the shocks and connecting the air lines. The extended length is 16.7 inches, and the collapsed length is 12.15 inches, giving you a wide range of adjustability for your ride height, typically between 14.5 and 15 inches. This system is designed for universal application, so you'll want to confirm mounting compatibility with your specific vehicle's chassis. It's a solid option for builders who want to achieve a custom look and feel without compromising ride quality.
