RIDETECH SYSTEM INCLUDES:

• FRONT UPPER AND LOWER STRONGARMS:
  • WHAT SAYS "PERFORMANCE" MORE THAN A SET OF TUBULAR CONTROL ARMS! AFTER ALL OF THE TIME AND EFFORT EXPENDED ON YOUR RIDE, YOU DEFINITELY CANT LET YOUR STAMPED OEM CONTROL ARMS DETRACT FROM ALL THAT WORK. FINISH YOUR SUSPENSION OFF WITH THESE NEW TUBULAR CONTROL ARMS. BUILT WITH ALL OF THE CARE AND EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE COME TO EXPECT FROM US, THESE TUBULAR CONTROL ARMS ARE A PRECISION-ENGINEERED SOLUTION FOR BALL JOINT BINDING AND FRAME CLEARANCE ISSUES THAT CAN HAUNT SOME VEHICLES. WHEN YOU COMBINE THE PERFORMANCE BENEFITS WITH THE ELEGANT DESIGN OF THESE ARMS, THERE IS NO BETTER CHOICE ON THE MARKET.
  • DEVELOPMENT:
    • STRONGARMS ARE DEVELOPED BY RIDETECH IN JASPER, INDIANA, ON AN ACTUAL RUNNING, DRIVING VEHICLE. THIS ALLOWS US TO PROPERLY ADDRESS ALL FITMENT AND PERFORMANCE ISSUES. IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO DOCUMENT AN INSTALLATION, DEMONSTRATE THE INSTALLATION TO OUR SALES TECHS, AND ALLOWS ONGOING EVALUATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE STRONGARMS.
  • DESIGN:
    • RIDETECH THINK THE BEST WAY TO DESIGN ANY COMPONENT IS TO KEEP IT SIMPLE. THAT IS WHY STRONG ARMS ARE DESIGNED WITH AS FEW COMPONENTS AS POSSIBLE. THE NEW 4-AXIS TUBING BENDER ALLOWS PRECISE, REPEATABLE BENDS THAT NO OTHER MACHINE CAN ACHIEVE. WE CAN CREATE ELEGANT TUBING BENDS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE SEVERAL SEPARATE WELDED COMPONENTS.
  • COMPONENTS:
    • POWDER-COATED IN A SATIN BLACK FINISH AND COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED WITH BALL JOINTS AND BUSHINGS. TO REDUCE ALL STICTION FROM THE SUSPENSION MOVEMENT, INJECTION MOLDED DELRIN BUSHINGS ARE USED. THESE BUSHINGS ARE ALSO IMPREGNATED WITH TEFLON, WHICH ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR LUBRICATION.
  • GEOMETRY:
    • GEOMETRY OF A SUSPENSION STARTS WITH THE POSITION OF THE FRAME MOUNTS AND THE HEIGHT OF THE SPINDLE, NOT THE SHAPE OF THE CONTROL ARM. HOWEVER, THERE ARE A FEW SMALL THINGS IN CONTROL ARM DESIGN THAT CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN HOW A VEHICLE DRIVES AND PERFORMS.
      • RIDETECH CREATES EXTRA CASTER POTENTIAL BY ADJUSTING THE FORE-AND-AFT POSITION OF THE BALL JOINTS. AT THE SAME TIME, WE MAKE SURE THE WHEEL IS PROPERLY POSITIONED IN THE WHEEL-WELL SO YOUR NEW LARGE WHEELS FIT LIKE THEY SHOULD!
      • THE BALL JOINT CAMBER TRAVEL IS RE-CENTERED TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEW LOWERED RIDE HEIGHT, SO THE BALL JOINT DOESNT BIND DURING EXTREME SUSPENSION MOVEMENT.
      • THE PERIMETER OF THE STRONGARMS IS CONTOURED TO ALLOW MAXIMUM WHEEL CLEARANCE AND TURNING RADIUS.
      • ALL SHOCK MOUNTS, AIR SPRING MOUNTS, AND SWAY BAR MOUNTS ARE INTEGRATED INTO THE DESIGN, SO YOU DONT HAVE TO FINISH THE ENGINEERING IN ORDER TO ENJOY YOUR RIDE!
  • STRONGARMS ARE OPTIMIZED TO ALLOW PROPER CAMBER ADJUSTMENT AT YOUR NEW LOWERED RIDE HEIGHT WITHOUT USING A LARGE STACK OF SHIMS.
• FRONT MUSCLEBAR SWAY BAR:
  • MOST OEM FRONT SWAYBARS WERE CALIBRATED WITH TIRES AND CORNERING LOADS THAT WERE RADICALLY LESS CAPABLE THAN TODAY. WE INCREASE THE DIAMETER OF THE SWAYBAR TO MINIMIZE THE BODY ROLL THROUGH THE CORNERS TO OPTIMIZE THE HANDLING PERFORMANCE. INCLUDES DELRIN BUSHING TO ELIMINATE STICTION AND ALLOW THE SWAYBAR TO MOVE FREELY.
  • RIDETECH HAS UPGRADED THE TRADITIONAL NOTION OF SWAY BARS WITH THE NEW MUSCLEBAR. USING PRECISION CNC TUBING BENDERS, INVESTMENT CAST BAR ENDS AND BILLET ALUMINUM FRAME MOUNTS WITH LOW FRICTION BUSHINGS. RIDETECH CAN NOW PRODUCE SWAY BARS WITH UNHEARD OF DIMENSIONAL AND RATE ACCURACY.
  • BILLET ALUMINUM FRAME MOUNTS, ANODIZED BLACK.
  • LOW FRICTION FRAME BUSHINGS ALLOW EASY AND PREDICTABLE ROTATION OVER THE STICTION OF POLYURETHANE OR RUBBER.
  • PRECISION CNC BENT TUBING FOR ACCURATE AND REPEATABLE FITMENT.
  • INVESTMENT CAST STEEL BAR ENDS OFFER PERFORMANCE AND APPEARANCE IMPROVEMENTS OVER THE TRADITIONAL "BEAT IT FLAT AND PUNCH A HOLE IN IT" MANUFACTURING.
  • EASY TO INSTALL END LINKS WITH BARREL LOCK NUTS TO PREVENT OVER-TIGHTENING. THE BUSHING CONTOUR MATCHES THE CONCAVE BAR END TO REDUCE BIND.
  • POWDER COATED SATIN BLACK
• HQ SERIES SHOCKWAVES:
  • UUTILIZE AN IMPACT FORGED ALUMINUM BODY AND MONOTUBE DESIGN TO DELIVER EXCELLENT RIDE QUALITY AND HANDLING. THEY ALLOW FINE TUNING OF THE RIDE QUALITY AND HANDLING VIA THE REBOUND ADJUSTMENT KNOB, LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE SHOCK FOR UNDER HOOD ACCESS. THEY COME STANDARD WITH A 1,000,001 MILE WARRANTY.
