Frequently Asked Questions
What’s a good suspension upgrade for an older pickup truck?
For older trucks like C10s or F100s, coilover or Mustang II front suspension kits are a solid choice. They improve ride comfort, handling, and make it easier to add disc brakes.
Are there suspension kits that bolt on without welding?
Yes, many aftermarket kits are designed to be bolt-on. That means you won’t need to weld or modify your frame—great for home installs or weekend garage projects.
Why do so many builders use Mustang II suspension?
Mustang II front ends are compact, easy to set up, and compatible with disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. That’s why they’re a go-to choice for restomod builds and classic hot rods.
Is it worth switching from leaf springs to coilovers?
If you're looking for a smoother ride and better suspension tuning, coilovers are a big step up from leaf springs. They also help with stance and adjustability.
What are some simple suspension upgrades for better ride quality?
New shocks, sway bars, and polyurethane bushings are great starters. These upgrades are affordable, easy to install, and make a noticeable difference in how the vehicle feels on the road.
How can I make my classic truck ride smoother?
Replacing worn suspension parts, switching to modern coilovers, or adding a Mustang II front clip can all help your truck ride more like a modern vehicle without losing its vintage character.
