Ridetech Differential
Anyone know if ridetech still has a presence on the forum?
I am on the home stretch of a C3 build and looking to source a rear end that will handle the power the LS7 570 mated to a t56 with 335s will throw at it. My buddy has been trying to reach out to ridetech about their 9” set up since we are running the full ridetech coil over suspension but we have had no luck getting any feedback from them.
any suggestions to someone on the forum that can help with ridetech? Or alternate set ups would be greatly appreciated.

Call Ridetech and ask to speak to Darren Schilling. I have been dealing with him on trying to adapt some Ridetech stuff on my car. He is a very knowledgeable guy and very helpful. I do know that to run their Track1 rear, which includes the 9 inch IRS, needs additional components to the stock rear system. Darren will steer you right.

I am running the Track 1 rear suspension set up in my ‘64 with a Ford 9”. The housing and diff are actually provided by Currie. Darren is the man. Not only helped me with the rear, but custom built a front true coilover I could use with Global West control arms.

The reason I wrote the post is because we have called and haven’t had any luck getting answers. I know previously they had a presence on the forum that is why I posted on here to see if they still do. Seeing that a couple of people mentioned Darren specifically I figured it would be good to get in contact with him directly. Thanks for your input.
