UMI Performance 73-87 GM C10 Handling and Lowering Kit Stage 2.5 4.5in F/6in R Viking Shocks - Black

When you're looking to give your 1973-1987 GM C10 pickup a serious upgrade in both stance and performance, this UMI Performance Stage 2.5 Handling and Lowering Kit is a comprehensive solution. This kit is designed to significantly lower your truck – by about 4.5 inches in the front and 6 inches in the rear – while also improving its cornering ability and overall road manners. It's a popular choice for C10 owners who want their classic truck to handle more like a modern performance vehicle, whether for daily driving or weekend cruising on roads like those found in California, Texas, or anywhere in between.

What you get in this Stage 2.5 kit is a well-thought-out collection of components aimed at a complete suspension transformation. It includes a set of Viking double-adjustable shocks, which allow you to fine-tune the damping for your specific driving style and road conditions. You'll also find the necessary springs to achieve that aggressive lowered stance, along with other key handling components that work together to reduce body roll and sharpen steering response. UMI Performance manufactures these kits in the USA, focusing on robust construction and precise tuning to ensure a noticeable improvement over stock suspension. The black finish on the shocks adds a clean, custom look under the chassis.

Installing a kit like this is a significant undertaking, but it's designed to be a direct replacement for many of your factory suspension parts, making the process more straightforward. You'll want to ensure you have the proper tools and potentially a helper, especially when dealing with springs. Once installed, you can expect a much flatter cornering experience and a more planted feel on the road. This kit is a solid option for anyone serious about transforming their classic C10's driving dynamics.
