The end result of the improved rear end make it possible to maintain the stock bed floor height even with the Chevy's frame scraping on the ground. An airbag setup and a cantilevered shock step in to replace the original geometry, and a tubular swaybar helps to tie the chassis together for improved handling. The single biggest point of departure between a home-brewed slam and the Low Pro chassis is the replacement of the factory's solid rear axle with an independent suspension design that makes use of a rear trailing arm. The Perfect Solution To A Very Specific Problemīuying a 'pre-slammed' chassis might at first seem a bit like cheating, or even unnecessary given how easy lowering a pickup can be, but the truth is there's a lot of extra engineering that's been poured into the 'Low Pro' OBS setup delivered by Roadster Shop that goes well beyond a simple suspension swap. One of the most intriguing developments for those looking to slam their OBS truck has come from the longtime chassis and suspension experts at Roadster Shop: a 'pre-slammed' chassis aimed specifically at Old Body Style builders.
In recognition of the growing interest in OBS Chevys, the aftermarket has begun to swing further in that direction in terms of support and parts availability.
With prices on classic pickups continuing to rise, shops and individuals alike have increasingly been turning to the 1988-2002 'Old Body Style' or OBS Chevrolet trucks as a starting point, which are both easier to find in good condition, and more affordable to purchase. Slamming a full-size pickup is an approachable project for enthusiasts looking to drive something different from the lifted 4x4s that make up the majority of modified trucks on the modern landscape.
