Suspension system shock and spring options:

This system can use Ridetech Coil-Overs or Shockwave air suspension to provide options for adjustability to your classic Ford. The Coil-Overs 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 carry a wide range of loads while maintaining adequate suspension travel and ride quality. 

The front system is designed to lower ride height by approximately 5”. Air suspension option with Shockwaves will lower an additional 3” when parked and fully deflated.

Both Coil-Overs and Shockwaves use the same shock 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.
