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
