1935-1941 Ford ‘Moonshiner’ Chassis

We are proud to offer 1935-1940 Ford Car & 1935-1941 Ford Truck “Moonshiner” Custom IFS & Torque Arm Rear Chassis. Putting our 50+ years of design and engineering expertise to work, we begin with 8 laser-cut frame pieces of U.S.-derived.134w steel. Each piece of the frame rail is fixture welded and ground smooth. The frame rails are then placed into a chassis fixture where we add front and rear crossmembers and a center section.

Our Custom IFS is American-made and engineered for enhanced drivability and a broader range of alignment adjustments. This front suspension is based on our Custom designed spindle with bolt-on steering arms and proprietary geometry to maximize comfort and performance. The offset stainless eccentric adjusters provide easy camber and caster adjustments. Available with dropped or stock height spindles to provide a ride height that matches your specific desires. 1,000,001 Mile Warranty Ridetech Coil-over shocks come standard and provide further height adjustment and 26-way ride comfort control.

The Torque Arm rear suspension was designed to eliminate the suspension bind that occurs when cornering using the stock conventional leaf spring suspension & aftermarket 4-links. The Torque Arm features a telescoping slider at the front of the arm that rotates as the car goes through suspension travel and articulation. Moreover, this allows the cars handling to be controlled by the coil-over shocks and the rear sway bar with no suspension binding variables. The kit allows for a lowered stance, greater rear axle control, and dramatically improved handling. There are 3 height adjustments on the axle brackets in one-inch increments. You also have the ability to fine-tune the ride height further with the adjustable coilovers. Adjustable link bars allow fine tuning of wheelbase and provide excellent axle control for today’s modern high-performance engines. Link bars and coilovers are mounted outside of the narrowed rear frame rails to provide better roll control.
