FAQs

Talk to a tech

Mon–Fri 8–5 EST. Real people who install these parts.

Will lowering my truck affect towing?: Our rear air assist and load-leveling systems restore ride height under load. Systems are rated to factory payload when installed with the recommended components.
What is the difference between HQ and TQ Series?: HQ Series is single-adjustable rebound, tuned for street and occasional track use. TQ Series is triple-adjustable (rebound, low- and high-speed compression) for competition.
Do I need an alignment after install?: Yes. Every system changes ride height and geometry. We publish recommended alignment specs for each application.
What does the 1,000,001-mile warranty cover?: Every Ridetech shock and ShockWave, for as long as you own the vehicle. Contact tech support with your order number to start a claim.
