Coil-Over suspension system:

This system uses Ridetech coil-overs to provide adjustable suspension to your classic Ford. The coil-over system provide a small amount of adjustable ride height and easy to swap Hyperco springs for simple spring rate changes if needed. The system is designed to lower ride height by approximately 5”.

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.

Shock calibrations and spring default rates are based on more than 20 years of extensive experience on the street, highways and race tracks. If you find you need stiffer or softer spring than provided in the kit we can help you find the best spring rate for your use.
