Description
This Pete and Jakes Complete Dropped Tube Axle Front Suspension Kit provides everything needed to install a classic, lowered front end on your 1928-1931 Ford Model A, giving it the iconic hot rod stance with modern reliability. This comprehensive kit includes all components from hub to hub.
Included Suspension Components:
Dropped Tube Front Axle: A high-quality, fixture-welded tube axle (often 4" dropped) to achieve the perfect lowered stance.
Radius Rods (Your Choice): You can select between:
Hairpins (for a traditional, nostalgic look)
4-Bar Setup (for enhanced adjustability and stability)
Transverse Leaf Spring: A multi-leaf transverse spring, such as the Posies Superslide, for excellent ride quality and durability.
Front Shocks: High-quality gas shocks and weld-on shock brackets.
Panhard Bar: Included for lateral stability and to perfectly center the axle under the frame.
Included Steering and Braking Components:
Brakes: Typically includes 11" Disc Brakes with GM rotors and calipers for significant safety and stopping power upgrades.
Spindles: Spindles fitted with kingpins and fully packed front bearings.
Steering Components: Includes Steering Arms, Tie Rods, and Drag Link (configured for efficient Vega Cross Steering).
Mounting Hardware: All necessary brackets, rod ends, and small hardware for a straightforward installation.
Finish and Customization Options:
Finish: Available in Plain Steel or Chrome (at an additional cost).
Bolt Pattern: Available in common patterns like Ford 5 x 4-1/2" or GM 5 x 4-3/4" bolt patterns.
Note: This is a universal assembly and typically requires some fabrication for final installation, as the shock mounts and radius rod/4-bar frame mounts will need to be welded to your specific frame. It does not include the frame cross member or the steering box (like a Vega box).
