I AM SO IMPRESSED!!!! TOTALLY AWESOME ENGINEERING!!!!! I LOVE THE DENT SIDE FORD TRUCK!!!! SO BADASS AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!! TOTALLY AWESOME UPGRADE!!!!
I own a 78 F-100 short bed. I only wish that I could find a bed for it so I won't have to cut and weld in New metal over and around the wheel wells. Nice kit, but seems a bit harder than the description.
And it can be done in a weekend 😳 nice set up the nicest part was seeing the big ugly crossmember being cut and the twin I-beam set up being dragged across the floor .
Had one just like this ! Mine was short bed , black w/ red interior f 100 ranger XLT package ! 390 fe built C6 with shift kit ! Nine inch rear w/373 gear mini spool !
Ridetech, please please please! Make this kit available for the 80’s model F series truck. I have a 85 that I’m working on and would love to have this installed on it!
Trying to learn about bags or coil over just for street driving, but SLA front suspension on 67C10. I don’t drive the Ford as too many radius arms broke. I seen 13 snapped in half, 1 happened two blocks from my house. No.
The truck in this video reminds me of my 77 f 100 I bought new wish I could post a picture of it lost it to a engine compartment fire , 302 , c 6 transmission
Do you have a kit for 48 ford? That could take a dually set up? I have a 48 ford f5. I want to keep it dually and run a Cummins 12 valve so I need heavy duty enough to handle that weight and keep GVW of an f450 as it is going to remain a flatbed but be a work rod.
@@joeschlotthauer840 that’s a basic price you still have to make some selections that will add to that cost. Plus the labor is more. So the savings is why people go with a suspension system. Like I was saying.
they made it about as simple as you can get versus adding a crown Vic suspension in the front although that's a hell of a lot of work if you were just doing it by yourself and your backyard I would consider a kit like this if I was newly retired and I didn't have nothing to do and I didn't want to be bored to death. although that's a pretty hefty price tag and then you have to take your engine out you see that was the killer for me that was the deal breaker for me with the crown Vic swap as well although there's some people that have a lot of money to deal with and they'll easily buy one of these kits and pay a shop to install it for them it's a pretty trick kit actually the only negative for me with it is I don't have I don't have the money to buy it and I don't want to yank my engine out to cut the crossmember out.
Any plans in doing a watts link set up with this or is it not necessary, also would welding the brackets to the frame add any benefits, also 1 last question, the front crossmember engine mount bars, is that a 1 size fits all or will there be different types like if we canted to coyote swap or godzilla swap the truck?
I sold a 75 short bed like this for junk once after I removed the front disc brake suspension for my 69 longbed. Never really cared for short beds. Maybe I should have kept a few of them.
Really? A set of drop-beam axles would be a whole hell of a lot easier and I’ll bet a fraction of the cost. May not have the performance quality but really….? After all that and they didn’t even put in a 550hp. Coyote or a Shiverlay LS.
Thanks for considering our old classic trucks in your suspension lineup ......
BOLT-ON! [remove engine and cut frame step one]
Honestly🤣 just a Lil elbow Greece
Lmao don’t u known a guy can bolt he can cut
That’s the elbow grease! Hahaha… WTF I just wanted to see if it felt good ride wise…
I AM SO IMPRESSED!!!! TOTALLY AWESOME ENGINEERING!!!!! I LOVE THE DENT SIDE FORD TRUCK!!!! SO BADASS AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!! TOTALLY AWESOME UPGRADE!!!!
Finally a kit I can buy and install and go
I like the split grill so much better than the 78-79 grill.
beautiful truck and impressive
Beautiful 76

I had a 1974F 100 XLT just like this one never knew they had something like that but then
thank you for painting the frame rails before putting new stuff on. i die a little inside when car shows bolt new stuff on to dirty rusty areas.
My first truck was same year but a long bed. Kinda miss that ole truck sometimes
Had one just like this ! Mine was short bed , black w/ red interior f 100 ranger XLT package ! 390 fe built C6 with shift kit ! Nine inch rear w/373 gear mini spool !
I need one of these for my bullnose
Super clean
Awesome set up

Cool! See-ya I-beams.
Looks great! Would have liked to see where you put the air tank and related aero bits. Is this for short wheel base only?

That all looks tough. Crossmember esp.
I have a 1971 F 100 I wish looked like this lol
I need this for my brown beast

Can this kit be welded on instead of bolt on?
What does a system like this cost with labor. And what kind of time frame are we looking at. This is a cool project. Thanks.
I'm riding high....76 high boy shorty...maybe in my sixties I can get a low go...78-79 best ford's. 👌
At $8,225.00 for the kits, why not just go for a custom chassis...
Because a custom chassis is twice that and a lot more work.
@@deanrickvalsky7586
12K gets you a Spec chassis from Roadster shop...

Will this kit work on a 75 f250 truck 2 wheel drive ?
I must be really old school. Love my trucks to be trucks, not lowered street stuff
Do they make a suspension for a 1981 f150 ranger
wonder if works for f150 frames
is there a way to add bluetooth 🙏
Is this a long bed or short bed
Nice
Would u happen to know spring rate for a coilover set up for this truck
What's your location guys?
How can I get that kit?
What size of wheel you put it on ?
What is the price of that kit
Is the break kit 5x5.5 or 5x4.5
I like it.
This is a Frankenstein project.
I'ma go ahead and talk about how clean that truck is...me thinks that's never been a northern work truck know what I'm sayin...
Dudes driving me crazy with how he’s spray painting. GD

I'm wondering about the Coyote swap too? Heard the mustang 2 cross-member doesn't work out well.
I know it's not likely as it isn't a very desired truck, but any chance on a similar setup for a 10th gen f150
Need to make a kit affordable for a ford maverick 77 something decent for reasonable price,
I recognize that voice!
Wow amazing, not bolt on lol but amazing can I take you guys my bullnose! I have similar wheels on mine

สวยน่าใช้แต่เสียดายไม่ใช่ไฟฟ้านะ
Why?
Nice kit, needs a Coyote, and I would’ve put an electric rack in it.
You guys should invest in a torque wrench.
A couple ugga duggas usually gets it done
"we like our trucks low" Why get a truck only to cripple it?

You basically dropped it and put fugly wheels and tires on it. May God have mercy on your soul.
Yes, was way cooler original
Right I don’t like those wheels some 15/ 10 on back and 15 8 front !
Not really impressed, still just a lot of body roll. For me the expense and the amount of work not working not worth it
Word salad: "uncompromised suspension geometry" that tubular steel is a deal breaker. Made in China quality. No thanks!
Crown vic easier cheaper
