We install Ridetech BOLT-ON Coil-Over / Air Suspension for 1965 - 1979 Classic Ford Truck

The classic Ford F-100 and F-150 platform presents some unique challenges when setting out to build an air suspension system that delivers the ride and handling people have come to expect from Ridetech.
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” but it wasn’t exactly built to carve corners.
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, and replaces the old leaf spring rear with a four-link. This package can be ordered with either Shockwaves or coil-overs, both of which will help get your truck sitting-and performing-better than ever.

I own a 78 F-100 short bed. I only wish that I could find a bed for it so I won't have to cut and weld in New metal over and around the wheel wells. Nice kit, but seems a bit harder than the description.

Any plans in doing a watts link set up with this or is it not necessary, also would welding the brackets to the frame add any benefits, also 1 last question, the front crossmember engine mount bars, is that a 1 size fits all or will there be different types like if we canted to coyote swap or godzilla swap the truck?

@TheThirdWheel618 2 жыл бұрын

they made it about as simple as you can get versus adding a crown Vic suspension in the front although that's a hell of a lot of work if you were just doing it by yourself and your backyard I would consider a kit like this if I was newly retired and I didn't have nothing to do and I didn't want to be bored to death. although that's a pretty hefty price tag and then you have to take your engine out you see that was the killer for me that was the deal breaker for me with the crown Vic swap as well although there's some people that have a lot of money to deal with and they'll easily buy one of these kits and pay a shop to install it for them it's a pretty trick kit actually the only negative for me with it is I don't have I don't have the money to buy it and I don't want to yank my engine out to cut the crossmember out.

Really? A set of drop-beam axles would be a whole hell of a lot easier and I’ll bet a fraction of the cost. May not have the performance quality but really….? After all that and they didn’t even put in a 550hp. Coyote or a Shiverlay LS.
