REAR:
We chose to fix the rear suspension in much the same way we have done on many muscle cars originally equipped with leaf springs… swap in a 4-link.
This rear bolt-on 4-link suspension system completely transforms the little Ford Falcon into a world-class handling machine, and at the same time provides an incredibly smooth ride and bind-free operation.
Starting off, the rear will accept up to a 225/40-R18 with a recommended backspace 5.50 in. – 6.00 in. and provide a ride Height: 18 ¾” ground to the fender lip.

- Available with Standard Bars (fixed lowers and single adj. uppers) or the Double Adjustable Bar option gives you the ability to adjust the length without removing the bar end.
- Triangulated 4-Link – no need for pan hard bar and keeps rear end movement vertical
- Bolt-in cradle
- Upper control arm axle mounts require welding
- Spacers included to fit multiple factory leaf spring mounts (2 in. and 3 in.)
