Description
In this episode of Dentside Depot, Aaron installs a complete 70s Ford truck 2wd suspension system solution for Crown Vic swapped trucks. The issues are apparent, here is how to fix it. By swapping in a Mercury Marauder rear axle, we gain the correct middle wheel spacing, disc brakes, a free posi with 355 gears, and can automatically reset our pinion angle. Next, Vintage Truck and 4x4 solves the dreaded shock mount issue. They rust, they break, they don't drain, and they limit your shock angle, but no more! With this bracket, we can now install a standard eye to eye shock which brings in our friends from Ridetech! Featuring their new RQ-S steel body shock, we are able to finish off this entire suspension swap with the best parts in the business. Need to upgrade your ride? Check out these great parts here:
