RIDETECH FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM,CONTROL ARMS,SPINDLES,SWAY BAR,FITS 65-79 F-100

Description: You are bidding on Brand New Ridetech Front Suspension System with Control Arms, Spindles, & MuscleBar Front Sway Bar (Ridetech Part #12312799). The classic Ford F-100 & F-150 platform presents some unique challenges when setting out to build a coil-over suspension system that delivers the ride and handling people have come to expect from a Ridetech suspension system. The old Ford was designed and built for a different era - back when the speed limit was 55 and trucks were meant to work hard. While the original twin I-beam front suspension was certainly built "Ford tough", it wasn’t exactly built to carve corners. The 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. Our complete bolt-in suspension system for the classic Ford trucks removes the entire factory front crossmember in favor of our bolt-on front crossmember… Yes, 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. This 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. This system can use Ridetech coil-overs or Shockwave air suspension to provide options for adjustability to your classic Ford. The coil-overs provide adjustable ride height and easy to swap Hypercoil springs. The Shockwaves mount just like coil-overs and provide full adjustability over spring rate / load capacity / ride height using air pressure. Along with providing the ability to “air-out” and lower the truck completely when parked for a super aggressive stance, the air suspension also significantly enhanced the ability to carry a wide range of loads while maintaining adequate suspension travel and ride quality. Front Suspension:Removes bulky, heavy, poor handling twin I-beam suspensionBolt-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.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 lifeUpper control arm cross shaft allows for easy alignment and use of caster slugsAdjustable steering stop on lower control armUtilizes Ridetech tall 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 patternBrake kit for the stock 5 x 5.5" lug pattern coming soonIncreased camber gain with tall spindle, 5-8 degree’s caster for improved high speed stability63.5" in front width (wheel mount surface to wheel mount surface) – provides options for “traditional” offset wheel choices (4" narrower than Crown Vic)Fits 14 inch and larger wheels.

High quality satin black powder coat finishEntire system saves approximately 130lbs. from the front of the truck. Suspension System Shock & Spring Options (Not Included):This system can use Ridetech coil-overs or Shockwave air suspension to provide options for adjustability to your classic Ford. The coil-overs provide adjustable ride height and easy to swap Hypercoil springs. The Shockwaves mount just like coil-overs and provide full adjustability over spring rate / load capacity / ride height using air pressure. Along with providing the ability to “air-out” and lower the truck completely when parked for a super aggressive stance, the air suspension also significantly enhanced the ability to carry a wide range of loads while maintaining adequate suspension travel and ride quality. The front system is designed to lowers ride height by approximately 5”. Air suspension option with Shockwaves will lower an additional 3” when parked and fully deflated.Both Coil-overs and Shockwaves use the same shock with 24-position rebound adjustment clicks, you fine tune the shocks to your driving preferences and vehicle demands. Advanced Fox Factory Shock Technology hides within the shocks.The Fox Factory monotube-gas-pressure design features large 1.834″ pistons, heavy duty 5/8″ shafts, and impact-forged aluminum bodies.
