We utilize a proven 4 link design to provide a low stance and still retain full use of the bed floor and load capacity of the truck. The Ridetech bolt-in c-notch, just like our bolt-in front cross member, is designed to actually improve the strength of the original frame and provides all the mounts for our new control arms and panhard bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRear 4-Link Suspension:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRemoves factory leaf spring suspension and bracketry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eComplete parallel 4-link with panhard and c-notches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWorks with Coilover or Shockwaves Air Suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncludes R-Joints on all links for smooth, bind free, quite operation and long life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOptimized roll center and anti-squat (60% anti-dive) for amazing traction and elimination of wheel hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHigh quality satin black powder coat finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReduces rear weight by 50 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1965-1972 – No bed modification needed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1973-1979 – Slight bed support rail modification needed (not visible from the top side of the truck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCompatible with short bed and long bed trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSuspension system shock and spring options:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis system can use Ridetech coil-overs or Shockwave air suspension to provide options for adjustability to your classic Ford. The coil-overs and provide adjustable ride height and easy to swap Hypercoil springs. The Shockwaves mount just like coil-overs and provide full adjustability over spring rate \/ load capacity \/ ride height using air pressure. Along with providing the ability to “air-out” and lower the truck completely when parked for a super aggressive stance, the air suspension also significantly enhanced the ability to cary a wide range of loads while maintaining adequate suspension travel and ride quality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis rear system is designed to lowers ride height by approximately 5”.
