Default 2006 GMC ECSB - Ridetech 3 Link

Bought this truck brand new in August '06. Spent 10 years as a work truck and last March, Ridetech announced a bolt-on wishbone suspension. I already had the McGauphy's spindles and Hellwig sway bars, and had just sent money to Atomic for some Viking shocks, so as soon as the Ridetech kit was released, I bought the rear section and the front Strongarms. Richard at Atomic Fabrication got me dialed in with the right Viking coilovers and springs. We had some hiccups during the install and Ridetech's customer service was awesome. A friend and I installed the kit over the course of a few weeks, at my shop, during in-between-hours.

Specs: Ridetech GMT800 rear Wishbone setup, Ridetech upper and lower Strongarms, Hellwig front and rear sway bars, Viking adjustable coilovers, DUB Luxe 20x9 wheels and Toyo Proxes ST (original) 275/45/20

This is my daily driver and I beat the absolute **** out of it on the road. I cannot believe how well it handles. A few more stopping power upgrades and I want to get it to an autocross event.

This truck looks great! I was pumped when Ridetech announced this product but man is it expensive. How adjustable is the ride height? I'm curious if this could be set up at a 2/4 or 3/5 drop. Your input is appreciated. Again, your truck looks awesome. You mention brake upgrades. It looks like ILuvJDM posted some Wilwoods in the classifieds...

It defaults to.4-6, but I have it at like 5-7 right now, you may be able to go up to 5-3, but that's pushing it. I have at least an inch and a half adjustment. The kit is well worth the money. Not ready to spend the money on brakes yet, but hopefully soon
