Built for the Weight — 1965-1970 Pontiac Fullsize for Pontiac V8s
Weight is the whole story on a 1965-1970 Pontiac full-size car. Coil springs stiff enough to hold one of these low ride like a truck, and springs soft enough to ride well let it wallow. Air springs sidestep that trade by letting you set height and rate separately.
Butler carries one system for this chassis, and it is the right kind of system for it: RideTech front and rear air suspension using CoolRide air springs on model-specific brackets with HQ Series rebound-adjustable shocks.

More About 1965-1970 Pontiac Fullsize
1. One system, front and rear
RideTech treats the full-size Pontiac as a complete job rather than a corner at a time, and the kit is built to lower the car.
| Air springs | CoolRide units front and rear. The front uses vehicle-specific mounting bracketry and the rear bolts on, so there is no fabrication in the way. |
| Install | no cutting and no fabrication is called for, because every bracket in the kit is made for this chassis instead of adapted to it from something else. |
| Damping | HQ Series shocks on all four corners with rebound adjustment, so a car that still floats after the install can be tightened up without changing parts. All four carry a 1,000,001 mile warranty. |
2. Budget the control side too
Nothing in the box fills the air springs. That hardware is ordered separately, and on a car this heavy the sizing is not optional.
| Tank and compressors | RideTech's 5 gallon dual compressor systems are rated for vehicles above 3500 lbs, which is the bracket these cars fall into. |
| Control | an analog panel with switches and gauges, or the RidePro E5 with preset heights and automatic leveling at startup. Both are listed under the RideTech air ride control systems category. |
Beyond this air system, Butler does not currently catalog coil-overs, StreetGRIP or chassis bracing for the 1965-1970 full-size platform. Rather than list parts we do not stock for it, call the counter with what the car is doing and we will tell you straight whether there is a fix on the shelf.
