AccuAir ENDO Air Ride Kit for Chevy S10 GMC S15 Sonomahttps://www.bagriders.com/media/catalog/product/cache/439c27ae68db3aa2c9619e8f902649db/air_ride_kits/3002/accuair-endo-air-ride-kit-height-sensor.jpgLooking to bag your Chevy S10 GMC S15 Sonoma with one of the most advanced and cleanest setups on the market? The AccuAir ENDO Air Ride Kit combines the cutting-edge technology of e-Level+ management with the ultra-sleek ENDO-T or ENDO-VT air tank systems.
At the heart of this kit is the e+ Connect ECU, an intelligent height-based management system. With the included height sensors, you get three programmable presets plus a dedicated "all-down" button to instantly air out when parked. Control your ride directly from your smartphone via the free ePlus app, or upgrade to the physical TouchPad+ for tactile, at-your-fingertips control.
The real star of the show is the ENDO-VT tank. By housing the system's valves directly inside the tank endcaps, it completely eliminates the need for a standalone manifold (like a VU4). This drastically cuts down on plumbing and wiring, resulting in an incredibly clean trunk setup that matches the premium aesthetic of your Chevy S10 GMC S15 Sonoma.
If you're looking for a more traditional approach without the ENDO tank, be sure to check out our standard AccuAir Air Management Package.
AccuAir eLevel+ Features:
3 programmable heights, plus a dedicated all-down button

Ridetech AIRoverLeaf Rear Air Suspension for Chevy S10 & Blazerhttps://www.bagriders.com/media/catalog/product/cache/439c27ae68db3aa2c9619e8f902649db/r/i/ridetech_airoverleaf_rear_kit_3.jpgRideTech’s AIRoverleaf rear kit is one of the simplest and most cost effective setups on the market. This rear kit is also quick and easy to install. The AIRoverLeaf system offers a great ride quality and extra load capacity without re-engineering your vehicle. Lowering is accomplished by removing 1 or 2 leaf springs. The air spring is then inflated to restore load capacity, ride height, and spring rate.
Features:
Lowers vehicle ride height
Improves handling
Greatest application coverage and versatility
Pre-engineered mounting hardware to maintain ground clearance, driveline angles, tire clearance, and load capacities

Ridetech ShockWave HQ Rear Air Suspension for Chevy S10 82-03https://www.bagriders.com/media/catalog/product/cache/439c27ae68db3aa2c9619e8f902649db/r/i/ridetech-shockwave-hq-for-4-link_5.jpgRidetech's HQ ShockWave Air Suspension for the Chevy S10 82-03 bolts in just like a rear coilover, swapping out the coil-spring for an adjustable air spring and opening up a wide range of ride height and stance options. Like the front kit, these rear HQ ShockWaves share the same coilover-style, shock-within-a-spring construction as the TQ Series, packaged into a more affordable single rebound-adjustable setup.
Single Adjustable Rebound
A 24 position rebound adjustment knob on each shock body lets you tune the rear ride from a smooth, comfortable cruise to a firmer, more planted feel under hard acceleration or in the corners.
HQ Series vs TQ Series ShockWaves
These rear HQ Series ShockWaves share the same air springs and core hardware as the TQ Series, including 1.834" pistons, 5/8" hardened shafts, impact-forged anodized bodies, and Ridetech's 1,000,001 mile warranty. Where they part ways is damping control: HQ skips the TQ's remote reservoir, which is what unlocks separate high speed and low speed compression tuning. For most daily drivers, weekend cruisers, and show cars, the rear HQ setup delivers the stance and ride quality you're after. If you're chasing serious track performance or want to fine-tune handling balance front to rear, the TQ Series is the better fit.
Features of the HQ ShockWave Rear Kit
Completely redesigned internal design
Aluminum impact forged construction allows leak free operation
Single adjustable shock valving
Easy & precise valve adjustment with 24 rebound clicks
Available in a wide range of stroke lengths, and mounting styles to fit large variety of applications
Monotube design for superior oil control

These HQ ShockWaves use the same coilover-style, shock-within-a-spring construction as TQ, but in a more budget friendly single rebound-adjustable package.
Single Adjustable Rebound
The HQ Series ShockWaves feature a 24 position rebound adjustment knob on the shock body that allows you to dial your ride from daily driven comfort to a firmer, more controlled sport setting.
HQ Series vs TQ Series ShockWaves
These HQ Series ShockWaves from Ridetech use the same bags, and core hardware of the premium TQ Series. They still feature 1.834" pistons, 5/8" hardened shafts, impact-forged anodized bodies, and Ridetech's 1,000,001 mile warranty. The main difference comes down to how much damping control you get. The HQ lacks the remote reservoir of the TQ which allows for high speed and low speed compression adjustment as well. These HQ ShockWaves for the Chevy S10 & Blazer are best for daily driving, weekend warriors and show cars while the more expensive TQ Series are best suited for heavy track use and for those seeking the most optimal handling characteristics.

Like the front kit, these rear TQ ShockWaves share the same coilover-style, shock-within-a-spring construction as HQ, but step up to a full triple-adjustable damping package with a remote reservoir.
Triple Adjustable Damping
Each rear TQ shock gives you independent 24 position adjustment for rebound, high-speed compression, and low-speed compression, so you can control how the shock reacts to sharp hits separately from how it settles under steady load. Soften things up for a comfortable street ride or tighten everything down for serious track handling.
TQ Series vs HQ Series ShockWaves
These rear TQ Series ShockWaves share the same air springs and core hardware as the HQ Series, including 1.834" pistons, 5/8" hardened shafts, impact-forged anodized bodies, and Ridetech's 1,000,001 mile warranty. Where they part ways is damping control: TQ adds a remote reservoir that unlocks separate high speed and low speed compression tuning on top of rebound, something the single-adjustable HQ doesn't offer. For most daily drivers, weekend cruisers, and show cars, the rear HQ setup covers what you need. If you're chasing serious track performance or want to fine-tune handling balance front to rear, the rear TQ Series is the better fit.
Features of the TQ ShockWave Rear Kit

This basic geometry change increases the camber gain during suspension compression which allows the tire to lean into the turn instead of away from the turn. The RideTech spindle also has a pin height that is 2" higher than the OEM spindle. This means that your car will sit 2" lower than it would with the OEM spindle.BR06504RidetechUSD315.00https://schema.org/NewConditionhttps://schema.org/InStockhttps://www.bagriders.com/gm-t325-t330-s10-1st-gen-s10-2nd-gen-ridetech-front-spindle-pair.html
RideTech StrongArms Front Upper Control Arms (For CoolRide Kit)https://www.bagriders.com/media/catalog/product/cache/439c27ae68db3aa2c9619e8f902649db/r/i/ridetech_strongarms_front_upper_control_arms_chevrolet_camaro_nova_pontiac_firebird_1_1_1.jpgWhat says “performance” more than a set of tubular control arms! After all of the time and effort expended on your ride, you definitely can’t let your stamped OEM control arms detract from all that work. Finish your suspension off with these tubular control arm systems from RideTech. 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 ShockWave installation, 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 question.... You want these.
Development
StrongArms are developed by RideTech in Jasper, Indiana on an actual running, driving vehicle. This allows them to properly address ALL fitment and performance issues. It also allows them to document an installation, demonstrate the installation to their sales techs and dealers, and allows ongoing evaluation of the performance of the StrongArms.
Design
RideTech’s Strong Arms are designed with as few components as possible. Their 4 axis tubing bender allows precise, repeatable bends that no other machine can achieve. They can create elegant tubing bends that would otherwise require several separate welded components.
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 they make sure the wheel is properly positioned in the wheel-well so your new 18" wheels fit like they should!
The balljoint camber travel is re-centered to accommodate the new lowered ride height so the ball joint doesn’t 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 don’t have to finish the engineering in order to enjoy your ride!

RideTech Bolt-On 3-Link Rear Kithttps://www.bagriders.com/media/catalog/product/cache/439c27ae68db3aa2c9619e8f902649db/c/h/chevy-s10-gmc-s15-sonoma-ridetech-bolt-on-3-link.jpgThe RideTech Bolt-On 4-Link installs onto the OEM leaf spring mounts of your prized muscle car... no cutting, no fabrication, just 4 small tabs to weld to the axle for your upper bars. The ride height of your car is typically lowered by approximately 2”. The ride quality is dramatically improved over stock... instead of a wallowing soft ride you’ll experience a crisp, controlled ride quality that will inspire more confidence for performance driving.
The area of largest improvement is the handling and cornering performance. RideTech's system eliminates the OEM leaf springs and replaces them with a 4-link rear suspension. The 4-link bars offer more precise positioning of the rear axle to eliminate flexing and increase stability through the corners. When combined with a ShockWave or a RideTech coilover front suspension kit your classic muscle car can now enjoy the benefits of modern handling and ride quality technology.
The RideTech Bolt-On 4-Link is designed to fit a variety of RideTech shock and spring solutions. Add RideTech's ShockWave air springs to be able to change your vehicle's ride height and spring rate on the fly.
RideTech Shockwave
RideTech’s ShockWave air suspension mounts just like a coil over and replaces the coil-spring with an adjustable air spring for a huge range of tuning options.

This basic geometry change increases the camber gain during suspension compression which allows the tire to lean into the turn instead of away from the turn. The RideTech spindle also has a pin height that is 2" higher than the OEM spindle. This means that your car will sit 2" lower than it would with the OEM spindle.BR06504RidetechUSD315.00https://schema.org/NewConditionhttps://schema.org/InStockhttps://www.bagriders.com/gm-t325-t330-s10-1st-gen-s10-2nd-gen-ridetech-front-spindle-pair.html
RideTech Bolt-On 3-Link Rear Kithttps://www.bagriders.com/media/catalog/product/cache/439c27ae68db3aa2c9619e8f902649db/c/h/chevy-s10-gmc-s15-sonoma-ridetech-bolt-on-3-link.jpgThe RideTech Bolt-On 4-Link installs onto the OEM leaf spring mounts of your prized muscle car... no cutting, no fabrication, just 4 small tabs to weld to the axle for your upper bars. The ride height of your car is typically lowered by approximately 2”. The ride quality is dramatically improved over stock... instead of a wallowing soft ride you’ll experience a crisp, controlled ride quality that will inspire more confidence for performance driving.
The area of largest improvement is the handling and cornering performance. RideTech's system eliminates the OEM leaf springs and replaces them with a 4-link rear suspension. The 4-link bars offer more precise positioning of the rear axle to eliminate flexing and increase stability through the corners. When combined with a ShockWave or a RideTech coilover front suspension kit your classic muscle car can now enjoy the benefits of modern handling and ride quality technology.
The RideTech Bolt-On 4-Link is designed to fit a variety of RideTech shock and spring solutions. Add RideTech's ShockWave air springs to be able to change your vehicle's ride height and spring rate on the fly.

The AccuAir ENDO Air Ride Kit combines the cutting-edge technology of e-Level+ management with the ultra-sleek ENDO-T or ENDO-VT air tank systems. At the heart of this kit is the e+ Connect ECU, an intelligent height-based management system. With the included height sensors, you get three programmable presets plus a dedicated "all-down" button to instantly air out when parked. Control your ride directly from your smartphone via the free ePlus app, or upgrade to the physical TouchPad+ for tactile, at-your-fingertips control. The real star of the show is the ENDO-VT tank. By housing the system's valves directly inside the tank endcaps, it completely eliminates the need for a standalone manifold (like a VU4). This drastically cuts down on plumbing and wiring, resulting in an incredibly clean trunk setup that matches the premium aesthetic of your Chevy S10 GMC S15 Sonoma. If you're looking for a more traditional approach without the ENDO tank, be sure to check out our standard AccuAir Air Management Package. AccuAir eLevel+ Features: 3 programmable heights, plus a dedicated all-down button Visual display of each sensor's height percentage in the ePlus app Automatic calibration Control your air suspension with your smartphone using the ePlus app Air tank pressure readout on the ePlus app RGB backlighting that allows you to change the color of your ECU Battery saver mode that sleeps the system after 24 hours Bluetooth 5.0 Over the air updates Compressor status indicator light via optional Touchpad+ Upgrade Includes: e+ Connect wireless controller AccuAir e+ ECU ECU wiring harness Valve wiring pigtail Digital pressure sensor ePlus smartphone app Mounting hardware Height+ Upgrade (4) Height sensors & linkage Height sensor harness TouchPad+ Upgrade (optional) Touchpad+ physical controller Touchpad harness ENDO-VT valve tank in 3 or 5 gallon Compressor(s) of your choice 40amp Relay(s) for your compressor(s) Relay wiring kit(s) Air Tank Drain/Emergency Fill Valve (1) 60ft Bundle of DOT Approved Air Line** Air Line Cutter Tool 100% FREE technical support - the industry's best! **By choosing 1/4" air line you will receive (6) Plug-In Reducers {GM T325} AccuAir ENDO Air Ride Kit AccuAir USD 4230.00 https://schema.org/NewCondition https://schema.org/InStock https://www.bagriders.com/chevy-s10-gmc-s15-sonoma-accuair-endo-air-ride-kit.htmlSale Price $4,230.00
