Speedtech s C10 shop truck was used to develop the C10 ExtReme chassis. This is a complete street cruiser with all the amenities, yet has won 1 st place in the truck class again and again, performing along side top level purpose built cars in autocross and road course races. 2 P a g e
Thank you for purchasing your new Speedtech ExtReme Chassis kit. Installing this product will require the removal of your old frame, engine and transmission from the car. Take all necessary precautions whenever jacking up your vehicle and use safe and sturdy jack stands to support the vehicle whenever it is off the ground. Be sure to take all other safety precautions required to do the job correctly. Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning any assembly. For the most part, initial assembly and set up of your new suspension can be done in a home garage with simple hand tools. Included in these tools should be a quality torque wrench, anti-seize lubricant, blue Loctite, and suspension grease. As your final step, go over each assembly step again to be sure all fasteners are correctly secured. Once assembled you will need a professional wheel alignment performed. Driving the vehicle without a proper alignment can be dangerous, towing is recommended. Info on setting toe close enough to drive onto a trailer is with our performance alignment instructions on page 31. After assembly you still have work to do. While Speedtech's ExtReme suspension systems work great as a direct bolt in replacement for your factory suspension, they are also designed to meet the needs of those intending to race their vehicles on a regular basis. Part of having this versatility includes some anticipated adjusting and tuning of the suspension to achieve maximum performance results for each individual driver, vehicle and type of racing. Some of this, such as tuning sway bars and shock settings, can be done track side through making adjustments and seeing/ feeling how the car reacts to these changes. We recommend a tire probe pyrometer and good quality air pressure gauge be in your track side tuning kit. Other adjustments, such as tuning bump steer and caster may require specialized equipment and professional help. Speedtech's technical department can share insight on making some of these adjustments, however we are somewhat limited to how much help we can offer over a phone call. If you require help with a more thorough chassis set up for a specific racing application we recommend a reputable professional coach such as Ron Sutton Race Technologies. These resources can be a great help in getting the most out of your particular car. Good luck and enjoy your build! 3 P a g e
Additional parts you will need: LS Oil Pan LS Engine Starter Motor LS Engine Adapter Plates Engine to frame Motor Mounts Headers Transmission mount Steering Shaft Kit Custom Brake Line Kit 12mm x 1.5 Lug Nuts LS Oil Pan- Factory LS oil pans will have clearance issues and will not work. Other aftermarket pans may work however we have not test fit any outside of our Speedtech fabricated pans. Speedtech offers two types of LSx oil pans for use with our sub frames. Pictured above is the ATS # 70003 LSx Road Race oil pan. It features internal baffling, trap doors and a windage tray. It also features bungs and fittings for remote oil filter mount, oil pressure and temp gauges, and turbo oil line. Also available from Speedtech is the ATS # 70004 LS7 and LS9 dry sump oil pans. These pans feature all internal and external passages for the use of a dry sump style oiling system. Please call us at 435-628-4300 for more details. 4 P a g e
Engine Starter- For the most amount of clearance we suggest using a GM starter for a 2005-2007 Corvette, or equivalent Powermaster #9201. Speedtech does not carry these starters. Engine Mounts- When installing your engine you must use an LS motor mount adapter plate, we recommend the ATS # 070001 and our Speedtech custom machined polyurethane motor mounts # 220530. Transmission Mount- An Energy Suspension polyurethane transmission mount can be purchased from Speedtech, part # 220531. Headers- Our ExtReme subframes have very tight fitting frame rails for additional wide tire clearance and steering angle. If you have not already purchased headers, Speedtech has designed 1 7/8" long tube headers specifically for our ExtReme frames that fit Chevrolet LSx, engines. They are designed to optimize engine to frame clearance as well as ground clearance for lowered vehicles. Please call us at 435-628-4300 for specific part numbers for your application. Note: Because we have designed our own headers specifically for Speedtech ExtReme frames, we will not be testing any other brand of headers for fitment clearance. We do not know what other brands of headers, if any, might fit. 5 P a g e
Steering Shaft- You will need to order a steering shaft connection according to your specific vehicle and steering column type. Speedtech offers several different configurations that meet most needs. Call us at 435-628-4300 for specific part numbers. Note: It is imperative when setting up and installing the steering shaft that the shaft does not protrude beyond the end of the u-joint housing. Damage and binding will occur if this is not installed properly. The steering shaft is typically left long to allow for trimming. Mock up the shaft assembly in place and trim as needed to ensure that the correct length is achieved. When installing the shaft you will find one end is splined to allow the shaft to be rotated and phased to eliminate any binding. You may have to adjust the phasing slightly from this initial starting position to allow smooth operation and completely eliminate any binding. Brake Lines- Factory brake lines will not work with an ExtReme frame. Custom brake lines must be made up. Refer brake line construction only to those with professional level experience. 6 P a g e

Assembly 1. Support your chassis with jack stands at each corner, be sure it is sturdy and level. For powder coated frames, use something non abrasive such as a shop rag between the stands and frame to protect the finish. 2. Install the supplied engine mount frame stands in the forward locations shown below. Do not fully tighten the bolts at this time to allow adjustment later when installing the engine. Note: If using a low mount A/C compressor or an external oil pump drive, the rear holes may be used for extra clearance on the passenger side. You may also use the rearward mounting holes on both sides if you are attempting engine set back. Other modifications may be required for engine set back such as increasing firewall to engine clearance. Note: LS Series motors use 2 different length frame stands, the Taller Stand must be installed on the Driver Side. This will move the motor over 1/2 to clear the oil pan rail. You must also us an LS motor mount adapter such as the ATS # 070001. 9 P a g e
4. Install the lower control arms. Begin by sliding the frame end up into the frame pockets. The boxed portion of the arm will be towards the front. Note: For maximum performance Speedtech component tolerances are designed to be tight. Excessive thickness of paint or powder coating may require additional effort for installation of lower control arms. 10 P a g e
Apply anti-seize lubricant to the shank of the 9/16 x 3 1/2" bolts and install with 9/16" nylock nuts. Torque to 70 ft. lbs. 11 P a g e
5. Using the three 1/2 x 1" bolts, secure the steering rack to the frame. Note the bolts will thread in from the underside. Use Blue Loctite and torque to 40 ft. lbs. 12 P a g e

ExtReme Power Steering System Requirements The Sweet dual power steering rack is a very high quality part. Considering the way Speedtech has spec d its internals for maximum all round performance and through extensive testing and racing our Sweet equipped test cars we have come up with the following critical requirements to ensure proper function, reliability, and longevity of your power steering system. The use of a very high quality power steering pump is required We recommend either Jones Racing or Sweet Manufacturing. Both of these pumps are hand built and have extensive internal modifications to increase both performance and longevity over any other pump that we are aware of. Do not use a factory style or spec'ed steering pump. MAXIMIM RPM of the steering pump is 5200 RPM Please ensure your pullies are sized for this max speed accordingly with max engine RPM. Although individual needs may vary, we generally recommend: 5 crank Pulley 6.5 power steering pulley Required Power Steering Pump Specifications 3+ Gallons per minute 1300 psi We recommend a series 60 eccentric in the power steering pump. You MUST use a quality power steering cooler Minimum of at least 44 sq inches. You MUST use a high quality fluid, we recommend Jones full synthetic, or Sweet full synthetic 14 P a g e
6. Assemble the coilover shocks as shown below. Start by installing the large adjusting nuts threaded to the bottom of the shock. Install the adjusting thrust bearings and washers on top of the nuts prior to the spring. Install the spring and spring cap. The spring may need to be compressed in order to get the cap on correctly. 15 P a g e
7. Install the shock into the lower control arm and the upper shock mount. Install the socket head shoulder bolts and accompanying nylock nuts and tighten them to 20 ft/lbs. Note: For vehicles using our down tube chassis braces, install the upper shock mount bolt with the nut on the front side and the bolt head towards the firewall. This will enable shock removal without removing the chassis brace tube. 16 P a g e
8. Assemble a matching set of caster alignment slugs into the upper control arms. Note only one side of the control arm cross shaft is machined for the slugs. 17 P a g e
A. The front (A.) of the arm is where the slug pocket is closer to the control arm bushing, see below. B. There are three different caster slug settings in only two pairs of slugs. One pair has a centered bolt hole and is 8 degrees caster. The other pair has an offset bolt hole. With the hole towards the rear you will have 7 degrees of caster. With the hole to the front you will have 9 degrees of caster. Be sure all four slugs are offset in the same direction! *Refer to the alignment specs at the end of these instruction sheets for initial caster settings for different types of driving. 18 P a g e
Install arms with the cross shafts on the inside of the frame mounts using the 7/16 x 2 1/4" Bolts. Tighten as needed; the alignment shop will torque them to specs. Note brake line mount loop on frame below front control arm bushing. 19 P a g e
9. Install the spindles onto the control arms. Note the brake caliper mounts will be to the rear side of the spindle. Tighten the lower ball joint to 60 ft/lbs and install the cotter pin. Tighten the upper ball joint to 40 ft/lbs. and install the cotter pin. Install the billet steering arms with the tie rod end towards the front and curved outwards. With the nuts on the outside, torque the two steering arm to spindle socket head bolts and nylock nuts to 50 ft. lbs. 20 P a g e
10. Assemble the tie rod assemblies. Apply Anti-seize to female end threads on the sleeve and the adjuster. A.) Thread outer steering arm side almost all the way in and lock down with the lock nut. B.) To be able to achieve a full range of toe adjustment, thread the adjuster into the sleeve about one turn. Then thread the heim joint into the adjuster the same amount, about one turn. While holding the heim and sleeve steady, turn the adjuster to equally further engage the threads on both sides simultaneously. Initial toe set up is discussed at the end of the instructions near the alignment specs. Note: The SMALL OUTSIDE DIAMETER 5/8" lock down nuts should be used on the outer steering arm heim joint as seen below. DO NOT ignore this step! **Please read and closely follow assembly diagram on the next page. Photo below shows completed assembly. 21 P a g e
22 P a g e
Install the.650" bushing on the rack pin under the heim joint, See below. Install outer tie rod bushings as seen in the illustration below. This is an initial set up and can be tuned further with additional bushings not included in your kit. A bump steer gauge will be required to help you adjust it for specific needs. 23 P a g e
11. We have found it easiest to assemble the sway bar one side at a time. Install one sway bar arm onto the center bar, (A.) then install one bushing onto the bar. Be sure to position the grease fitting where you will have easy access to it later. Note the arm curves outward. Assemble both sway bar end links so that they are 3 1/2" center to center, see (B.). Slide the assembled sway bar arm into the frame tube. Using the shaft as a guide, install the opposite side Delrin shaft bushing. Install one sway bar link onto the lower control arm and attach to the assembled sway bar arm (C.). Now install the second sway bar arm on the other side. Leave the second sway bar link off until you have the vehicle assembled and at ride height. At that point install the 2nd sway bar link. Note: For tuning purposes there are two positions for the sway bar link (C.). Using the forward hole increases spring rate, the rearward hole decreases spring rate. As you drive the car you may find you'd like to change the sway bar spring rate all together for different racing applications. This can easily be done by simply replacing the center sway bar shaft, you can reuse the sway bar arms and links included in this kit. 24 P a g e
12. Fully thread the bump stop up into the pre-tapped threads on the bottom side of frame. Bump stops should make contact near the rearward bar of the lower control arm at full compression. 25 P a g e
13. Install the transmission cross member. Offset top holes in center box are for LS applications. Small block and big block engines use top centered holes. Use remaining side holes as appropriate for your specific engine and transmission application. Do not fully tighten the bolts at this time to allow adjustment later when installing the engine and transmission. Note: the bolts for polyurethane transmission mounts are not included in the frame hardware kit. FRONT 26 P a g e

Rear Suspension Install 14. The billet pinion mount is a straight bolt-on over the existing pinion support. Remove the five original bolts, position the pinion mount, and reinstall using the new longer bolts supplied with the mount. Note: This bracket is designed to work with the original Ford pinion mount clocking position. Some aftermarket 9 centers have non- Ford clocking. Non-Ford pinion mount clocking WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY. Please verify that your center is correct. If you are not sure, please contact your axle manufacturer before beginning the installation. 30 P a g e
15. Install the Torque Arm Delrin bushings. The front pin bushing is held in place using the 3/8 bolt and lock washer. Apply blue Loctite to the bolt threads. Assemble the rear bushings and 9/16 x 2 sleeve into the Torque Arm rear mount. 31 P a g e
16. Attach the torque arm to the axle housing. Loosely install both ½ x 2 bolts through the dog bone, torque arm and into the billet pinion mount. Attach rear housing mount with the 9/16x3 ¼ bolt and nylock nut. Raise the axle and Torque arm assembly up into position in the frame. Install the Torque Arm front pivot pin into the Torque Arm crossmember. 32 P a g e
17. Install the rear shock extension brackets to the axle trailing arm brackets with the 5/8x1 bolts and nylock nuts. Note there are two possible positions to adjust ride height. Torque to 50 lbs. Install billet shock adapters onto the extension brackets with the remaining 5/8x1 bolts, using the lower shock mount bolts to help align the billet adapters. Torque the 5/8 bolts to 50 lbs. Note that the adapters also allow 1½ of ride height adjustment depending on orientation. With the shock bolt on top ride height will be 1 ½ higher than with the shock bolt on the bottom. Axle brackets shown below are for visual purposes only, these brackets will come pre-welded to your axle housing. 33 P a g e
18. Install the rear shocks without the springs into the frame and attach to the rear axle. Do not completely tighten shock mounting bolts. 19. Apply blue Loctite to the threads on the short polyurethane bumpers and install into frame rails above axle tubes. 20. Trailing arms should be installed with the short end towards the front and grease zerk fittings pointing down. Install the rear trailing arm ends into the axle housing brackets using the ½ x 3 ½ bolts and nuts. Do not tighten completely. Install the front trailing arm ends with spacers using the 9/16 x3 ½ sleeves, bolts and nuts. Do not tighten completely. 21. Assemble the two tie rod ends into the panhard bar an equal amount of turns on each side. Install the assembly into the frame and axle housing mounts using the associated bolts. Do not tighten completely. 22. Optional rear sway bar can be installed at this time. Install bushings, bar and axle mount in the same manner as the front sway bar. Note the 3 possible positions. The sway bar spring rate will increase by using the axle mounts closer to the bar. 23. Using your jack raise the axle housing to your approximate ride height location. Your next step is to adjust the rear suspension, see page 32. 34 P a g e
Adjusting the Torque Arm System The panhard bar adjustment includes two threaded heim joints. Rotating the panhard bar will laterally (side to side) center the rear axle. This is best measured with a plumb bob hanging down from the outside of each frame rail. The vertical panhard bar height adjustments are for adjusting the roll center. For a base setting, it is recommended to set the bar parallel to the ground at ride height with all the finished weight in the car. 35 P a g e
Trailing arm length is adjustable and is pre set during manufacturing. Fine tuning the length to center the wheels in the wheel opening may be required. This is done by rotating the arms right to shorten and left to lengthen. See diagram below. Trailing arms should be set close to parallel to the ground at ride height and can be adjusted to any hole position in the rear axle bracket to increase or decrease anti squat. Lowering the rear of the arm increases anti squat, helping to increase traction. Installing them near parallel to the ground is the recommended base starting point. 36 P a g e
With all finished weight in the car adjust the pinion angle by shimming between the billet pinion mount and the torque arm. Be sure to check drive shaft clearance while doing this. Note: Pinion angle should be set to between 0-2 degrees from the crank shaft angle, not level to the ground. For example If you put a digital degree gauge or inclinometer on the face of the crank pulley and it reads 87 degrees then you should set the pinion at between 87-90 degrees. 37 P a g e
For coil over adjustment, use the threaded nuts on the shock to fine tune the ride height. The shock should have approximately 2 of travel both in compression and extension. Once adjusted you should be able to see 2 of shock shaft when the car is at ride height to avoid bottoming out the shock. Ideally the adjusting nuts should be approximately at or slightly lower than the middle of the adjustment threads. If you have to adjust the spring nuts all the way up the shock body to raise the vehicle to the desired height then the springs are too soft for the weight of your car. For shock dampening adjustment, depending on the shocks you ordered, there are different amounts of adjustment. On all shocks, turning the adjustment knob counter clockwise will generally soften the ride and clockwise will stiffen the ride. On a single adjustable shock the adjustment affects both the compression (bump) and extension (rebound). Follow the coil over manufacturer s recommendation on any adjustments Feel free to contact us with any specific tuning questions. 38 P a g e
FINAL PREP BEFORE DRIVING Be sure that all measurements are correct, and re check that all components have proper clearance throughout your suspension s travel range. Install chassis into the vehicle. Torque all body mount bolts to 140 ft/lbs. Tighten all loose suspension bolts and recheck all bolts to ensure they are all tight. It is recommended you fill all grease fittings at this time, we suggest using Permatex Ultra Slick Synthetic Grease, but any high quality chassis grease will do. For your Sweet power rack and pinion we recommend using Sweet or Jones brand full synthetic power steering fluid for best performance and to avoid overheating standard type fluids during performance driving situations. DIFFERENTIAL CARE, BREAK-IN, and WARRANTY INFORMATION OIL REQUIREMENTS For Tru Trac and Wavetrack posi units, use a quality petroleum/mineral based oil. We do not recommend synthetic oil. Friction additive/modifier is not required. Do not use any RedLine, Shockproof, Royal Purple or similar gear oils. Specifically any standard 75W 90 or 140 will work just fine. OIL LEVEL Many differentials are easy to fill with gear oil. However, the 9 Ford design can be difficult to fill completely. The location of the fill plug on the 9 Ford can cause oil to run back out before it is completely full. Most 9 housings hold at least 2 1/2 3 quarts of oil and sometimes as much as 5 quarts. It is important to take your time and be sure that the oil has settled into all the crevices and recheck the oil level to be certain that it is completely full before driving the vehicle. BREAK IN ANY OVERLOADING OR OVERHEATING WILL CAUSE THE GEAR OIL TO BREAK DOWN AND THE RING & PINION WILL FAIL. All new gear sets require a break-in period to prevent damage from overheating. After driving the first 15 to 20 miles, it is best to stop and let the differential cool before proceeding. Dutchman s warranty requires at least 500 miles before towing. DMI also requires towing for very short distances (less than 15 miles) and letting the differential cool before continuing during the first 45 towing miles. This may seem unnecessary, but it is very easy to damage the differential by loading it before the gear set is completely broken in. DMI recommends changing the oil after the first 500 miles. This will remove any metal particles or phosphorus coating that has come from the new gear set. The greatest damage results when a new ring & pinion has been run for several miles during the first 500 miles and the oil is very hot. Any heavy use or overloading at this time will cause irreparable damage to the gear set that can be determined by inspection and will not be warranted by DMI. 39 P a g e
CLUTCH TYPE POSITRACTIONS Positraction chatter is normal for limited slip and clutch type positraction differentials. Both rear tires must measure the same circumference in order for the differential to function properly without premature wear. Limited slip additive or friction modifier for limited slip differentials must be used with the oil to reduce positraction chatter in the event that the oil is changed. LOCKERS Mechanical Locking differentials will bang and clunk during normal operation. Both rear tires must measure the same circumference in order for a locking differential to function properly. GEAR NOISE Richmond Gear and other aftermarket (non OEM) gears are designed primarily for strength and may be noisy. This noise is especially inherent in vans and quiet passenger cars. SIGNS OF LUBRICATION FAILURE When a gear runs low on oil, damage is sure to result. The cause of damage is not always obvious. When a differential runs low on oil, the oil volume may not be sufficient to keep the gear cool. Once the oil breaks down from contact with the hot gear, wear occurs very rapidly. Material will wear off the drive side of both the ring & pinion teeth and leave a feather like pattern on both surfaces. A gear that wears from friction due to lack of lubrication and excessive heat seldom experiences a color change from heat because any discoloration is worn off the teeth during each contact. Ring & Pinion gears are heat treated separately so that the pinion, whose teeth make contact more often than the ring gear, is designed to be harder. To accomplish this, the two gears are heat treated separately and a soft gear will not cause both the ring & pinion to wear. DUTCHMAN AXLE WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS 1. Any damage due to abuse, overloading, or lubrication failure (e.g. oil deterioration, water contamination, low oil level). 2. Any vehicles used off road or for competition. 3. Mini and mid-sized vehicles with tires over 31 tall will not be warranted due to the overloading caused by tall tires. 40 P a g e
Most items are not warranted against abuse, overloading, or improper lubrication. All rear axle parts must be returned to DUTCHMAN'S shop freight prepaid for inspection and determination. We do not authorize and will not pay for outside repairs. ANY UNAUTHORIZED OUTSIDE REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS VOID THIS WARRANTY. We will not pay for labor, inconvenience, loss of time or revenue, telephone calls, commercial losses, or loss of perishable goods. This is our only warranty expressed or implied. All returned goods must be accompanied by copy of purchase invoice within 30 days and will be charged a 20% service charge for handling. Reference photos 41 P a g e

Do not drive the vehicle until it has had a proper suspension alignment. Once you have completed the chassis install, we recommend you have the vehicle towed to a competent professional alignment shop to have the alignment performed. Measuring the front tires, center to center on both the front and the back side. With the car at ride height and the steering wheel straight, adjust accordingly to get the front of the tire and the rear of the tire measurement as close as possible to each other. This should be good enough to safely drive up onto a trailer or tow vehicle. Note: Use our suggested alignment specifications, DO NOT allow the alignment shop to use pre-programmed factory alignment specs! If your chosen alignment shop cannot match our suggestions, find a different shop familiar with performance alignment set-up. Alignment Specifications Extreme Chassis Systems Note: These are only suggestions and may need additional changes to achieve the optimum settings for your driving style or situation.
