Is there anything better than an old truck? Well maybe an old truck that doesn’t handle like an old truck. Ill handling vehicles will take the fun out of the driving experience quicker than you can say ‘’this thing sucks to drive.’’ This where the aftermarket comes into play. There are a whole slew of companies that make suspension components for the beloved Squarebody trucks, but what is the best choice? For us QA1 was a no brainer. QA1 offers a complete bumper to bumper bolt on kit for 73-87 squarebody trucks. They offer rear kits for GM 10 and 12 bolt axles and Ford 9’’ axles. This eliminates leaf springs, replacing them with coilovers and a three link. The front kit includes upper and lower control arms, with improved geometry and coilovers. All built right in Lakeville, Minnesota. We complemented our new suspension with a Borgeson quick ratio steering box, a Ford 9’’ rear axle from Quick Performance , and Halibrand 19’’ and 20’’ wheels, wrapped with Michelin Pilot S tires. All those top notch parts has this truck handling more like a sports car than an old truck, and yes it’s still an old truck per say but I’d take an old truck over a high end sports car any day of the week.
