Description

The Ridetech air ride suspension for the 1961-1965 Ford Falcon was built from the ground up to bring the Falcon into the 21st century.

We think Ford Falcons are awesome! However, over 60 years have passed since the first Falcon was built and the original 155/13 inch tires that came on the Falcon just won’t cut it in today’s world.

Front:
We started W/ fitting 225/40-R18 tires (Recommended Backspace 5.00 in.- 5.25 in.) and then built a tubular control arm set up to provide all the correct geometry to get them to work effectively.

The steering was also completely updated to provide quick response and virtually no bump steer.
To finish off the front suspension, we fitted a new MuscleBar sway bar that is heavy enough to take on the most aggressive of drivers.

  • This suspension package for the Ford Falcon will absolutely stun you!
  • Includes New Ridetech Spindles (Compatible W/ 67-69 Camaro Brake systems)
  • Optional inchHub inch Spindles offer the same geometry improvements as the pin spindle but add the performance and simplicity of late model Mustang hubs and brakes.
