RoadGRATER™ system

Air Ride Technologies

The NEW RoadGRATER™ system from Air Ride Technologies is a completely bolt-on 3 link wishbone rear air suspension. It includes a BOLT-ON super C notch assembly that is installed OVER the existing framerail BEFORE cutting.

This ensures the rear frame section remains properly aligned with the front. These super C notches are contoured around the oem rivets so you don't have to spend hours trying to grind hardened rivets out! The airspring crossmembers easily bolt onto the super C notches and add to the structural integrity of the RoadGRATER™ system. The oem gas tank crossmember is removed with a sawzall (again, no rivets to grind) and the new RoadGRATER™ crossmember (which includes a new gas tank mount) is bolted into place. Even the oem gas tank strap is reused!

The S10 RoadGRATER™ system is designed to be used with at least a 26" tall tire (275/35-18) and is capable of setting the frame on the ground with up to a 28" tall tire (275/35-20).
