Detroit Speed Rear Speed Kit 3 - 82-03 S10 Truck
Detroit Speed’s Speed Kit 3 takes everything you love about Speed Kit 2 and pushes it further with the addition of our premium Delrin bushing and shackle kit. This upgrade sharpens rear-end control, eliminates bushing deflection, and delivers a more connected, performance feel. For S10 owners who want the best possible leaf spring setup without fabrication, this is it.
MAXIMUM DROP, ZERO COMPROMISE
This kit gives you up to 5” of rear drop without cutting into the frame—thanks to the combination of reverse-eye leaf springs and 2” lowering blocks. The spring design brings built-in drop while preserving suspension travel and ride quality. The lowering blocks feature 3 degrees of built-in angle to dial in pinion angle and keep driveline geometry in check. Add in optimized shock angles from the included upper mounts, and you get an aggressive stance with street-ready performance.
ENHANCED TRACTION & CONTROL
Built for real-world performance, this system uses forward bias leaf springs and staggered shocks to minimize wheel hop and axle wrap under load. The front spring mount is optimized for improved anti-squat characteristics, giving you more control over how the truck plants power to the ground—especially when launching or cornering.
SHARPENED RESPONSE WITH DELRIN BUSHINGS
The included Delrin bushing and shackle kit replaces factory-style rubber or poly with precision-machined components that reduce compliance and improve feedback. The Delrin material eliminates side-to-side flex and unwanted movement, giving you tighter, more predictable suspension behavior through corners, launches, and transitions.
DIAL IN YOUR RIDE QUALITY
This kit includes Stocker Star double adjustable shocks, giving you 18 clicks of adjustment for both compression and rebound. Whether you’re cruising or carving corners, you can dial in the ride feel that fits your build.
ENGINEERED AS A SYSTEM
Like all Detroit Speed kits, this one’s engineered as a complete package. Leaf springs, mounts, and shocks are designed to work together to give you better balance, predictability, and performance - especially when paired with a front Speed Kit.
EASY INSTALLATION
This is a bolt-in system that installs in factory locations. Minor cutting and drilling may be required, but no fabrication is needed -saving time, cost, and complexity.
MADE IN THE USA
Detroit Speed kits are proudly designed, tested, and built in Mooresville, North Carolina.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Includes Delrin bushing and shackle kit for tighter, more responsive rear suspension
- Provides 5" drop with full suspension travel and bed usability
- Reverse-eye leaf springs lower the truck without sacrificing ride quality or suspension geometry
- Lowering blocks feature 3 degrees of built-in angle to dial in pinion
- Stocker Star double adjustable shocks – 18 clicks of compression and rebound adjustment
- Relocated leaf spring mounting for improved anti-squat geometry
- Made in the USA – premium materials, TIG welded construction, and quality you can trust
FITMENT NOTES
- Fits 1982–2003 Chevrolet S10 / GMC Sonoma (2WD)
- Not compatible with Crew Cab trucks
- Best results when paired with a Detroit Speed front suspension kit
