Description
Transform the drivability of your 1935–1940 Ford with the Heidts Mustang II Front Suspension Kit. This independent front suspension (IFS) system is the premier choice for replacing the outdated transverse leaf spring and "wishbone" setup, providing the smooth ride and precise steering geometry of a modern street rod.
Engineering and Construction
Complete "Hub-to-Hub" Package: This system arrives with a custom-engineered crossmember and every component needed to fully modernize your Ford's front end.
Tubular A-Frame Arms: Includes paintable tubular upper and lower control arms, which offer significantly more strength and a cleaner, show-quality aesthetic than original stamped parts.
Modern Braking: Standardized with 11-inch GM-style disc brakes, delivering the reliable, fade-resistant stopping power required for today's driving conditions.
Responsive Steering: Replaces the original steering gear with a manual rack and pinion, effectively eliminating the "wander" and heavy steering effort common in vintage Fords.
Kit Includes:
Control Arms: Choice of Stock or Narrow tubular control arms to ensure proper wheel-to-fender clearance.
Spindles: Available in Stock height or 2-inch Dropped spindles for those wanting a lower, more aggressive stance.
Braking: Standard 11" GM Disc Brakes (Premium Wilwood high-performance upgrades are available).
Steering: Manual Rack and Pinion (Power steering racks are available as an upgrade).
Suspension Options: Standard Shocks and Springs (Upgrade options include Coil-over shocks or an Air Bag kit).
Full Hardware Package: Includes spindle nuts, washers, rubber spring cushions, bearings, seals, and all necessary mounting hardware.
Installation & Technical Notes
Weld-In Integration: This kit is designed to be professionally welded to your original or aftermarket Ford frame rails for maximum structural integrity.
Frame Boxing: To ensure the frame can handle the new suspension loads, boxing the rails in the crossmember area is highly recommended.
Axle Centerline: Installation involves centering the crossmember on the original axle centerline to maintain the correct wheel position within the fender openings.
Custom Spring Rates: Various spring rates are available to match your specific engine choice, whether you are running a classic Flathead V8 or a modern V8 swap.
