Ford Monoleaf Disc Brake Conversion Kit Installation

“The wallet friendly monoleaf front suspension can enhance the stance of your vehicle by lowering it 3 to 4½ inches, depending on the drop chosen.”

Wes Drelleshak from Classic Trucks Magazine walks through an entire Monoleaf and Disc Brake Conversion kit installation. Before he started the project, Wes gave Performance Online a call to discuss his options with lowering the ’56 Ford project car. It was great speaking with Wes to help him get the job done! Give us a call if you’d like to experience the same customer service that he describes in the article.

“For this particular tech article, we made a call over to Performance Online in Fullerton, California, where the helpful sales guys walked us through picking the correct parts. I explained to the salesman that the owner wanted to have a traditional looking pickup using monoleaf front suspension but with the added braking performance of disc brakes. He suggested that we use the 4½-inch drop monoleaf that moved the front axle forward 1 inch to center the wheel inside the fender. We also added the Performance Online master disc brake kit that will help tie everything together on the stock front end.”

Thanks Wes!
