Ridetech 49-51 Mercury Front CoolRide Kit

If you're looking to give your classic 1949-1951 Mercury or Ford a significant upgrade in ride quality and adjustability, this Ridetech Front CoolRide kit is a solid choice. This system is designed to replace your original front suspension components, allowing you to dial in your ride height from a slammed stance to a comfortable cruising height, all while providing a much smoother ride than stock leaf springs or coils. It’s a popular way to modernize the feel of these iconic vehicles without sacrificing their classic looks.

This kit includes everything you need to get your front end converted to an air suspension system. You'll find the air springs themselves, which are the heart of the system, along with custom-designed brackets that ensure a proper fit onto your chassis. Ridetech also includes their HQ series shocks, known for their excellent damping characteristics and adjustability, along with the necessary shock mounts and all the hardware required for installation. The HQ shocks offer a good balance of performance and comfort, making them suitable for daily driving or weekend cruising.

Installing a system like this is a significant project, but the result is a dramatically improved driving experience. You’ll notice a difference in how the car handles bumps and rough roads, and the ability to adjust the ride height offers a unique aesthetic and functional benefit. This kit is designed to fit a range of 1949-1951 Ford and Mercury models, including popular choices like the Ford Custom, Ford Deluxe, and Mercury Monterey. It’s a comprehensive package that brings modern suspension technology to your vintage ride.
