Revolutionize the classic Ford F-100 and F-150 platform with our Bolt-In Front Suspension System, specially engineered to overcome the unique challenges presented by these iconic trucks. Built for enthusiasts who demand the ride and handling synonymous with Ridetech suspension systems, our solution transforms your vintage Ford into a modern driving marvel.
Key Features:
-
Tailored Design for Classic Fords: The old Ford F-100 and F-150 were built for a different era, designed to work hard rather than carve corners. We recognized the challenges, especially with the original twin I-beam front suspension, and set out to design a suspension system that delivers both ride comfort and exceptional handling.
-
Complete Bolt-In System: Our solution removes the entire factory front crossmember, replacing it with our robust bolt-on front crossmember. Significantly more rigid and stronger than the original, this system aligns with the original rivet holes, requiring some additional drilling for the included grade 8 fasteners.
-
Structural Soundness: Unlike salvage-yard or street rod-sourced front suspension systems, our Bolt-In Front Suspension System ensures structural integrity. The system's substantial "H" style design strengthens the front of the truck and provides un-compromised suspension geometry for vastly superior ride and handling.
-
Utilizes Fox Mustang-Style Steering Rack: Employing the popular "Fox Mustang" style steering rack, our system offers ease of use and optimal performance. The control arms come with ball joints installed and feature delrin bushings for smooth, squeak-free, and long-lasting performance.
-
Adjustable Caster: Enjoy options for caster adjustment, allowing you to set up your truck as aggressively as you desire.
-
Ridetech Tall "Pin" Spindle: The system utilizes Ridetech's tall "pin" spindle, compatible with "AFX brake kits." Optional "Hub" Spindles add the performance and simplicity of late model Mustang hubs and brakes for maximum strength, consistent braking, and reduced maintenance.
-
Increased Camber Gain: The tall spindle design enhances camber gain, coupled with 5-8 degrees of caster for improved high-speed stability.
-
Motor Mount Options: Various motor mount options are available, catering to Modular Ford, Ford FE, Small Block Ford, Chevy LS/Small Block/Big Block engines.
-
Front Sway Bar: The 1.5" x .250 wall front sway bar ensures confident cornering and a smooth ride. It comes with billet aluminum frame straps and low-friction bushings.
-
Adjustable Bump Stops: Enjoy the convenience of adjustable bump stops for fine-tuning your suspension.
-
Rack and Pinion Steering Conversion: The system includes a rack and pinion steering conversion with 15.5" center-to-center bushing mounts for 79-93 Mustang-style steering rack. Billet adjustable tie rods ensure precision control.
-
Virtually Eliminated Bump Steer: Our design virtually eliminates bump steer, providing enhanced steering stability.
-
Adaptable to Stock Steering Column: For those wishing to maintain the stock steering column, our system is adaptable using kit 12319505, which includes a column adapter, U-Joint, and shaft.
-
High-Quality Satin Black Powder Coat Finish: The entire system is finished with a high-quality satin black powder coat, ensuring durability and a sleek appearance.
-
Weight Savings: The entire system saves approximately 130 lbs. from the front of the truck, contributing to improved overall performance.
