3rd gen suspension build (WTD)

[WeldTecDesigns]

The Ford Generation 3 vans (1975-1991) are long overdue for some suspension upgrades. With not very many suspension upgrades available for these vans, we decided what the heck why not! Our goal is to put together a few options similar to what we have available for the GEN 4 series. We believe that we can make these Ford vans ride better lifted then they ever did stock.
TO start we are going big with our complete performance package, This kit includes our Baja Grocery Getter front suspension with custom long travel leaf springs to hold the weight of this COACH HOUSE build out.
We will add the Agile Off Road FOX shocks to all 4 corners as well as a steering stabilizer kit. The plan is to run a 285x70x17 tire with a 17x8.5 wheel.
If you have questions please ask.....

We are looking forward to this build and will post pics as the progress continues.

Old vans need love too.

I sold my old van because no suspension upgrades were available. Darn.

Yes!

I have a 78 that I never had any luck with finding upgrades. Look forward to seeing what you do!

What happened

What happened to the build? I called weldtec and they said they don't do anything for gen 3

you can order the 4th gen Baja Grocery Getter kit, then you will have to source:
Knuckles, brakes, bearings and change the brake lines.

There is just no longer a kit that has all of these components.
Hope this helps

Hey guys, I’ve been diving into this and was thinking there doesn’t seem to be a huge difference in my 89 to the 92-2000 years. Based on your last post I’m a gathering that if I update my current knuckles and brakes to the 4th gen that everything else lines up and will bolt on for the grocery getter kit?
