Description

Ridetech 1973-79 Ford complete bolt-on coilover suspension systems deliver the best handling for your classic truck—in a package that you can install yourself with hand tools and a little elbow grease.

1965-1979 FRONT SUSPENSION:

* Removes bulky, heavy, poor handling twin I-beam suspension
* Bolt-in cradle strengthens the front of the truck while providing structural mounts for front control arms; utilizes substantial "H" style design compared to other "I" style crossmembers.
* Superb 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.
* Delrin© bushings on upper and lower control arms provide smooth, squeak-free long life
* Upper control arm cross-shaft allows for easy alignment and use of caster slugs
* Adjustable steering stop on lower control arm
* Utilizes Ridetech tall "pin" spindle, which uses "AFX brake kits." Many brake kits (including Wilwood) are dual drilled for 5 x 4.5 in. or 5 x 4.75. lug pattern
* Optional "Hub" spindles offer the same geometry improvements as the pin spindles but add the performance and simplicity of late model Mustang hubs and brakes. Includes S550 2015-23 Mustang hubs for maximum strength, consistent braking and reduced maintenance. Compatible with 2015-23 Mustang brake systems, OE and aftermarket (caliper brackets included). Minimum 17 in. wheels. Hubs fit Ford car 5 x 4.5 in. lug pattern and include 14mm studs.
* Brake kit for the stock 5 x 5.5″ lug pattern with Ridetech pin spindle are available as well
* Increased camber gain with tall spindle, 5-8 degrees caster for improved high-speed stability
* 63.5 in. in front width (wheel mount surface to wheel mount surface); provides options for "traditional" offset wheel choices (4 in. narrower than Crown Vic)
* Fits 14 in. and larger wheels. If using more than 4.5 in. of backspacing, 18 in. wheels are required
* Motor mount "loops" connect cradle to frame rails to reinforce frame
* Motor mount options for Modular Ford, Ford FE, and Small Block Ford, Chevy LS / Small Block / Big Block
* Front sway bar measures 1.5 in. x .250 wall and provides confident cornering and smooth ride
* Adjustable bump stops
* Rack and pinion steering conversion with 15.5 in. center to center bushing mounts for 1979-93 Mustang-style steering rack
* Includes billet adjustable tie rods
* Bump steer has been virtually eliminated
* Adaptable to stock steering column using kit 12319505; includes column adapter, U-Joint and shaft.
* High-quality satin black powdercoat finish
* Entire system saves approximately 130 lbs. from the front of the truck

Rear 4-LINK SUSPENSION:

* Removes factory leaf spring suspension and bracketry
* Complete parallel 4-link with panhard and C-notches
* Works with coilover or Shockwave air suspension
* Includes R-Joints on all links for smooth, bind-free, quiet operation and long life
* Optimized roll center and anti-squat (60 percent anti-dive) for amazing traction and elimination of wheel hop
* High-quality satin black powdercoat finish
* Reduces rear weight by 50 lbs.
* 1965-1972: No bed modification needed
* 1973-1979: Slight bed support rail modification needed (not visible from the top side of the truck
* Compatible with short bed and long bed trucks
* Adjustable coilover suspension system
