You feel like you’re going to fly through the windshield with this Baer pro brake package.” This one we brought with us has got six-piston calipers, though, and they give us awesome stopping power.

Our Baer brakes are on this chassis, but we haven’t found a company out there that’s making the bracketry just yet. “It’s got an independent rear suspension system that includes a C7 Corvette spindle and hub assembly. The big thing that we are seeing through the industry with OBS trucks is guys want that lowered stance, they want that to slam it, but they also want the big ass tires in the back. When you do that – if you put a coffee cup back there and drive off, it’s going to go flying – essentially, it’s no longer a bed.

We asked Pat, “So, it just bolts right on after doing the tubs?” To which he responded, “People will still have install tubs, but with the Low Pro, people won’t have to go through the hassle of raising everything, including the bed floor. We noticed with a lot of the chassis’ that are out there in the market require users to modify their bed to clear that kick rail. They’re still going to have to do the tub kit, but what’s nice about it is this chassis requires no bed modification.

“To accommodate that, the Low Pro chassis is going to allow them to run a 405 series tire. The big thing that we are seeing through the industry with OBS trucks is guys want that lowered stance, they want that to slam it, but they also want the big ass tires in the back.” This Low Pro chassis is all re-engineered and all brand new. OBS-style trucks run from 1988 to 1998 and they’re super hot right now, but they have their limitations.

“This is our Low-Pro, made by us at Roadster Shop. We asked Pat to break down the impetus and engineering of the new chassis, from Roadster Shop. We caught up with Pat Webster, the brand’s Senior Sales Associate, and got the low-down on everything new from the Roadster Shop. As always, the brand’s booth did not disappoint. This year, we caught up with a number of manufacturers, but one that really stood out to us was Roadster Shop. Still, we were more than excited to make our way back to the Las Vegas Convention Center and return to our regularly scheduled programming – where the entirety of the automotive aftermarket convenes to showcase its wares and the world-class builds it produces alike. Last year was the first-ever virtual version, and it was a welcome distraction from all the craziness of 2020. The SEMA Show is an event we look forward to every year.
