Technology born on the high-banked ovals of stock car racing and proven in Goodguys and Optima Ultimate Street Car competition means your C10 can out-handle a new muscle car, and it can be installed in your driveway with basic hand tools. The new Hotchkis TVS is a complete kit, however, individual components can be purchased such as this sport sway bar kit.

The system includes Tubular Upper and Lower Control Arms up front which extend the wheelbase 1.8” to center the wheels within the wheel wells for increased stability and a better look. Geometry is improved by increasing caster alignment up to +9°. The camber curve is improved, and bump steer is corrected with a new center link assembly and heavy duty tie rod sleeves.

Ride height is optimized with sport lowering springs, and a 1-7/16” front sway bar reduces body roll and control the bumps along with the Hotchkis Tuned/Bilstein shocks and shock relocator brackets. The rear of the truck gets an adjustable full-length track bar setup, an adjustable anti-squat bracket system improving the truck’s instant center for maximum traction. A ¾” blade style sway bar reduces body roll. Ride height is lowered four inches in front and six inches in the rear.
