Chevrolet & GMC SUV models are built with quality and performance for quite some time. Like their pickup counterparts, these vehicles share many similarities, especially in the front end IFS platform. Similarities end with later model applications, yet RCD Suspension sets itself apart from other companies by offering applications to fit nearly all different models. Common on late model 6-lug applications is a rear coil spring 5 link set up in which RCD Suspension retains all features as standard including "air ride" and "auto ride" features.
The RCD 6" Suspension System for the 2000 -2006 Chevy/GMC 2500HD 8-lug, 2WD includes Bilstein 5100 series Shock Absorbers, CNC machined replacement cast iron steering knuckles, T-6 billet aluminum axle spacers, zinc plated billet steel "Super-Flex" sway bar end links, replacement heavy duty lower link arms, rear coil spring, pan-hard bar, shock absorber relocation bracketry, and Bisltein 5100 Series Shock Absorbers. Note: no drive shaft modifications are needed for installation.
