Ridetech 11162798 Details

For decades, Ridetech has delivered the ideal balance of performance and ride quality for classic and late-model cars and trucks—largely working within factory suspension pickup points. Now, we’re taking “Always Innovate� even further.

Introducing Ridetech’s first-ever performance subframe for the 1967–1969 F-body and 1968–1974 X-body. Designed from the ground up, it delivers the features builders want, along with key improvements over factory and aftermarket options.

Wheel/Tire Clearance: Our subframe design incorporates a 2� inch improvement on either side over stock, reducing the likelihood of contact when paired with the appropriately sized wheel and tire combo. Ridetech engineers found their best combination with a 18×10� wheel and 6.5� backspace.

Suspension Geometry: Attractive one-piece billet aluminum upper control arms and tubular lower control arms attach to high-quality Pro Forged ball joints before affixing to AFX hub. We also integrated our modular suspension design approach that accommodates both Ridetech coil-overs or Shockwave® air suspension.

Steering: Requires use of a 1979-1993 Fox Body Mustang rack & pinion (not included)

Engines: Whether you’re looking to install the latest in direct-injection GM LT powerplants, fancy the simplicity and power of the LS family of engines, or want to kick it old-school with a conventional small or big block Chevy, our engine mount plates have you covered.

Transmissions: Our adjustable transmission crossmember will allow the shifting your own gears or let the balls and valves or a computer sort out when to shift. Popular manual transmission like the Tremec T-56/TKX, or classic Muncie and Saginaws are compatible as are popular automatics like the TH350/400/700R4, or 4L60/80E family. This is not an exhaustive list.

Brakes: If you’re all about the latest in available braking technology our AFX hub spindles accommodate C5/C6/C7 Corvette hubs, which allow the installation of factory or aftermarket C5/C6 brake packages.
