“I am impressed with how well it drives on this custom TCI Engineering 4-link chassis!! The feel is incredible, the steering radius is unmatched!! Couldn’t be more pleased with the TCI team — Sal Solorzano has been there every step of the way with getting my suspension dialed in with the heavy Cummins motor and everything involved!!” — @jps__customs - 1970 Chevy K10 4x4 Crew Cab.
"TCI build quality parts. Bought a full frame for our 1974 C10 that they fully assembled and powder-coated for me. Amazing work they did and great support they have. The truck rides better than a brand new one. Thank you, guys" - Jose Salas, Auto Upholstery By Junior
"I bought one of the TCI Pro Touring chassis over 2 years ago for my 1968 Chevy C10, and it’s been a dream to drive! Big thanks for a wicked chassis."

- Nicholas Vincent, 1968 Chevy C10 Pro Touring Truck
"Decided to go with TCI and their 4 Link and full front cross member on my 84 and couldn't be happier with the product fit, everything lined up perfectly with minimal effort. The installation was performed in a home shop / garage with more or less basic hand tools, zero fabrication was required for the swap. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is unbelievable. Future projects will be TCI equipped no question.“

Jamie Attridge, 1984 Chevy C10.

- Built by Mike and Brad Swaney - Hayman Creations llc

- Ross Logsdon, Premier Street Rods, 1956 Chevy Truck

“Wanted to let you know that your chassis kit is badass!! That car handles amazingly! I'm glad we went with these setups!”

- Marc Mercurio, Finely Tuned Fabrications. 1969 Camaro
“The torque arm rear suspension installation was an absolute breeze. It came with highly detailed instructions and a tech line that will answer any questions you have. The car handles well but being built as a show car rather than a track car, what really steals the show is the stance. Everyone is blown away at how good it sets and the tire combination that fits so well under the car while still maintaining full turning capability. We will definitely be using more TCI chassis components in the near future.”

- Steve Allen, 1969 Camaro.
“Did a lot of research before starting my project. Home garage restomod build. Alex from the sales dept. was a huge help and I could not be happier with my decision to use TCI products for this build. The car handles and drives awesome. The quality, fit and ease of installation made using TCI products a major factor in completing my dream car.”

- Dennis Levasseur, 1969 Chevy Camaro SS
“What an awesome product Jeff and his team are putting out! I recently finished up my 1968 Camaro with the TCI IFS front clip and 4-link rear kit. The car handles amazing!! Huge thanks to Jeff and the staff at TCI for producing such an AWESOME product and for the help along the way on my build.” - Richard Martin, 1968 Camaro.
“I couldn’t be happier with my pro touring front clip and the torque arm rear suspension. The car handles excellent and sticks to the ground on hard corners. The quality of the parts is also top notch and well built.”

- Joe Seeno, 1963 Nova SS
"Choosing TCI Engineering suspension for my car was the best choice I've made! The improved drivability and performance is phenomenal!

The whole experience with TCI's quality products, options, and customer service has been well above satisfactory."

- Adrian Martinez, 1967 Nova SS
