1965-1972 Ford F-100 Complete HQ Coilover Suspension Handling Kit - Ridetech 12320201
Introducing the Ford F-100 Complete HQ Coilover Suspension Handling Kit from Ridetech. This remarkable kit is specially designed to meet the unique challenges posed by the classic Ford F-100 and F-150 platform when it comes to achieving a ride and handling that exceeds expectations. In the past, these old Ford trucks were built for a different era, where speed limits were lower and trucks were primarily used for heavy-duty work. The original twin I-beam front suspension, while built tough, wasn't exactly designed for maneuverability. Lowering the front suspension of these trucks can be particularly difficult, but Ridetech loves their trucks low. So they set out to create the ultimate handling suspension system for classic Ford trucks, one that can be easily installed by anyone with basic hand tools and some determination.
To achieve this, Ridetech completely replaces the factory front crossmember with their own bolt-on front crossmember, which is significantly more rigid and durable than the original. This crossmember aligns perfectly with the existing rivet holes in the frame, although additional drilling is required for the high-quality grade 8 fasteners included in the kit. This innovative system utilizes the popular and easily obtainable "Fox Mustang" style steering rack. The control arms come pre-installed with ball-joints, and feature delrin bushings for a smooth and noise-free performance that lasts. Plus, they offer the flexibility to adjust caster, allowing you to customize the aggressiveness of your truck. Compared to other options like salvage-yard or street rod sourced front suspensions, the Ridetech system offers superior structural integrity and uncompromised suspension geometry, while seamlessly integrating with the factory frame.
At the rear of the truck, Ridetech employs a time-tested 4 link design that not only provides a lowered stance, but also allows for full use of the truck bed floor and retains the truck's load capacity. In fact, their bolt-in c-notch, similar to the front crossmember, actually enhances the strength of the original frame. It provides all the necessary mounts for their new control arms and panhard bar, completing this comprehensive suspension package. Experience the difference with the Ford F-100 Complete HQ Coilover Suspension Handling Kit from Ridetech. Whether you're seeking improved ride quality or enhanced cornering capabilities, this kit delivers exceptional performance and durability in an easy-to-install package.
