While the original twin I-beam front suspension was certianly built “Ford tough” but it wasn’t exactly built to carve corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front suspension of these trucks are particularly problematic to get lowered… and we like our trucks low. So we set out to design the best handling classic Ford truck suspension – and build it in a package that you can install yourself with hand tools and a little elbow grease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur complete bolt-in suspension system for the classic Ford trucks removes the entire factory front crossmember in favor of our bolt-on front crossmember…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, we said bolt on… we have built our front suspension for the Ford truck to be bolted in and it is super stout… significantly more rigid and stronger than the original. It aligns with the original rivet holes in the frame, and does require some additional drilling for the many grade 8 fasteners we include in the kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system utilizes the popular (and easy to find) “Fox Mustang” style steering rack. The control arms are set up with the ball-joints installed and include delrin bushings for smooth, squeak free, long-lasting performance. They also provide options for caster so you can set your truck up as aggressive as you want. When compared to other salvage-yard \/ crown vic options or street rod sourced front suspension systems, the Ridetech system is significantly more structurally sound and provides un-compromised suspension geometry for vastly superior ride and handling and the simplicity of keeping your factory frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the rear of the truck, we utilize a proven 4 link design to provide a low stance and still retain full use of the bed floor and load capacity of the truck. The Ridetech bolt-in c-notch, just like our bolt-in front cross member, is designed to actually improve the strength of the original frame and provides all the mounts for our new control arms and panhard bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1965-1979 Front Suspension:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoves bulky, heavy, poor handling twin I-beam suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt-in cradle is super strong and strengthens the front of the truck while providing structural mounts front control arms – utilizes substantial “H” style design compared to other “I” style crossmembers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperb suspension geometry, built without compromise – vastly superior to adapted salvage yard “Crown-Vic suspension swaps” or “street rod style” \/ Mustang II front systems with optimized roll centers and anti-dive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelrin bushings on upper and lower control arms provide smooth, squeak-free long life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper control arm cross shaft allows for easy alignment and use of caster slugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable steering stop on lower control arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUtilizes Ridetech tall “pin” spindle which uses “AFX brake kits” – many brake kits (including Wilwood) are dual drilled for 5 x 4.5″ or 5 x 4.75″ lug pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional “Hub” Spindles \u003c\/strong\u003eoffer the same geometry improvements as the pin spindle but add the performance and simplicity of late model Mustang hubs and brakes.
