One System, Done Right — 1965-1970 Pontiac Fullsize for Pontiac V8s
1965-1970 Pontiac full-size cars are long, heavy and soft on purpose, and most owners are not trying to turn one into a road racer. What they want is a lower stance and a ride that stays settled over bumps instead of floating down the road. Air springs do that on a car this heavy better than any static spring can.
This category is one system deep. Butler carries the RideTech front and rear air suspension for the 1965-1970 full-size chassis: CoolRide air springs at both ends with vehicle-specific bracketry and rebound-adjustable HQ Series shocks on all four corners.
More About 1965-1970 Pontiac Fullsize
1. What the RideTech full-size air system includes
RideTech describes this as an easy-to-install system that transforms the stance and ride quality of these cruisers and adds some handling along the way. It is designed to lower the vehicle. Here is what is in it.
| Front | CoolRide air springs with vehicle-specific mounting bracketry, paired with HQ Series rebound-adjustable shocks. |
| Rear | CoolRide air springs with bolt-on bracketry and HQ Series rebound-adjustable shocks. |
| Shocks | all four carry RideTech's 1,000,001 mile warranty, and the rebound adjustment lets you dial the car toward comfort or toward control after it is on the ground. |
2. The control system is a separate purchase
This is the part that surprises first-time air ride buyers. The chassis kit holds the car up; it does not fill, store or manage the air.
| Budget for it up front | the control system is not included with this kit. You choose one from the RideTech air ride control systems category. |
| Size it for the weight | the 5 gallon dual compressor systems RideTech builds are specified for vehicles over 3500 lbs, which is exactly where a full-size Pontiac lives. |
| Analog or digital | the analog leveling system uses manual switches and gauges, while the RidePro E5 adds preset heights, automatic lift and level on startup, and phone control. The analog panel can be upgraded to digital later. |
3. What is not in this category
Straight answer, because it saves you a search. Butler does not currently list a coil-over system, a StreetGRIP package, subframe connectors, control arms or sway bars for the 1965-1970 full-size Pontiac chassis. The air system above is what is cataloged here.
