Amazingly enough if you want to run a 10in rim with 275's this system is not for you. Atleast, thats my experience with it anyway.

On my 67 i would of had to roll the fender, modify the inner fender just to make turn in it. And thats with a 9.5 275 wheel with 5.5bs.

With an after market subframe i can run a 9.5rim 6.8bs 275 wheel with and lock to lock with no rubbing, and no inner fender work. The oem frame is strong but it has its limitations with big tires. IMO, i think it was a mistake for Ridetech to make that claim. I waisted 1k on the system!

Im not bashing them just is what it is!

I appreciate the feedback. I'm sure others do as well. There is a lot of conjecture and bloviating that goes on with things like this by people who have no actual experience installing the system or driving the system. You have obviously installed it and its good to have some detailed feed back.

I did not try and bash ridetech. I only wanted to show people what was going on with my setup and see what others had done. I was hoping people who actually drove this system would give some feedback.

With the detroit speed subframe -

Haven't driven it much or very hard yet but haven't noticed any rubbing yet.

I had to slightly modify my inner fender and roll the outer lip...slightly;)

Hate to bump this thing but what a roller coaster of a thread.

I have ATX Billet spindles, Speedtech Control arms and in the box is a set of C6 z06 brakes with Kore 3 brackets.

I ordered a Tru-Turn so when that arrives on Monday, I hope to install and start taking some measurements to get some wheels sized up. LS fest is only a few months away now. :catfight:

Hopefully this works out :bump:

Good luck bronco. Be prepared to massage fenders or rehoop your wheels

Thanks man. Have not ordered wheels yet and had been putting it off till the parts came in.

Now to get my Wife's firebird off the lift so I can get my car up and get it all measured.

BigBronco - You went to UT and had a 4th gen F-body right? I think you and I went to the track once like 15 years ago and used to play Halo on Xbox if I remember correctly.

Hoping someone can chime in on TruTurn in 2020
I have a stock subframe, global west upper and lowers
stock spindle, AGR ps box, QA1 coilovers, 18x8.5 rushforths and 245 40 18s on it

i bought the car with all adjustments maxed out to make the car as low as possible....it rides like crap, rubs when i crank the wheel in both directions.
control arms basically on the bump stops

switching things around now...my goal is to just get the car as low as possible where everything is performing correctly and be able to make a proper 3 point turn or a U turn like a normal person lol


i like to lowered stance but realize the car will have to go up

Im hoping to add some global west shorter subframe bushings
replace the 350lbs springs with something stiffer

I am thinking of adding drop spindles, but then read about the TRUTURN

Im not looking to run a 275 tire...I just want to get the lowered stance and be able to turn on a 245 tire


is truturn what i need here or can I just but some drop spindles and call it a day?

thank you...Bob

My buddy just put one on his 69 Nova, which is the same kit as the 67-69 Camaro. It's a big block car which can have fitment issues on it's own if the frame stands and mounts aren't correct. But in his case he could not get it to clear the headers (tried Hooker and custom Lemons headers). The shop called Ridetech and they told them headers wouldn't work with that system.

I know the install pics show headers but I believe it's an LS swap car. I would call and verify from Ridetech first if that will be an issue with what you're doing. Other than that the shop doing the work had installed these before on other cars (not first gens) and liked the system and had no fit issues.
