The package contains front upper and lower control arms, 2.5″ drop spindles, front air springs with adjustable shocks, front sway bar, rear 4 Link with C-Notch, an adjustable panhard bar and HQ Series rear Shockwaves. The benefit of buying a complete suspension system is that it takes all of the guesswork out when purchasing a new suspension.

This Currie 9" Ford notch-back rear end has the stock mounts to accept the Ridetech StrongArms. The Southwest Speed 3rd member is the perfect compliment to the Currie rear end. It comes completely assembled and ready to bolt in the Currie housing, with a 31 spline posi-trac unit, premium ring & pinion, and solid shim set. This kit comes with a 3.70 ratio gear, which is a good cruising ratio. We have ratios from 3.50 to 5.00 that can be substituted in for no additional cost. If you would like a different ratio besides the 3.70, just make sure to request that.

  • Upper & Lower Tubular Control Arms:
    • Feature corrected ball joint angles and increased caster to improve high speed stability and steering feel. Injection molded Delrin bushings with 13% Teflon are used to reduce deflection and stiction. They are powder coated black and fully assembled with ball joints, bushings and cross shafts, ready for installation. 
  • Front MuscleBar Sway Bar:
    • Manufactured from massive 1.5″ x .250″ wall tubing to minimize body roll and includes billet aluminum frame straps (anodized black) and low friction bushings.
  • Front CoolRide Air Springs:
    • includes HQ series rebound adjustable shocks and bolt-on upper shocks mounts to allow more ground clearance and maximum suspension travel. The aluminum body shocks are a monotube design, are rebound adjustable with 21 steps of adjustment.
  • HQ Series Shockwaves:
    • Utilize an impact forged aluminum body and Monotube design to deliver excellent ride quality and handling. They allow fine tuning of the ride quality and handling the rebound knob is located at the top of the shock for under hood access.
  • Bolt-On Rear 4 Link System:
    • Replaces the leaf springs to provide excellent ride quality, handling, traction and load capacity. It is completely bolt-on and provides mounting for the rear Shockwaves. The panhard is adjustable so you can optimize your tire clearance at the new lowered height and the mount has been located to optimize the bar length and angle for the lowered height. This helps keep the rearend centered in the truck and lowers the roll center to minimize body roll. The R-Joint rod ends combine the best qualities of low friction movement, lateral stability, full range articulation, and quiet operation into one special bearing that is as home on the street as it is on the racetrack! The C-notches are included with the kit and FIT the frame rail.
