1960-1964 Ford Galaxie | Front HQ Shockwaves For Stock Arms

RideTech 12162401 HQ Series Front ShockWave System Transform the ride, stance, and handling of your 1960–1964 Ford full-size with RideTech’s HQ Series Front ShockWave System. Designed to install just like CoilOvers, these ShockWaves combine a precision monotube shock absorber with a high-capacity air spring in one compact unit. The result is a suspension upgrade that delivers modern handling, exceptional ride comfort, and on-demand ride height control — all without compromising the character of your classic. RideTech’s patented “shock-within-a-spring” design has been proven for decades on the street, highway, and track. Each ShockWave features a 24-position rebound adjustable HQ Series shock, allowing you to precisely tune the suspension for your driving style, road conditions, or desired performance. Whether you’re aiming for a smoother cruise, tighter cornering, or quick load compensation, these shocks give you the control you need. Inside every HQ Series ShockWave is serious hardware built for durability and consistency: large 1.834-inch pistons, heavy-duty 5/8-inch shafts, and impact-forged bodies. The monotube configuration delivers superior damping control and heat dissipation, ensuring stable performance even under demanding use. RideTech’s shock valving and air spring design are based on over 20 years of continuous air suspension development, making this system one of the most refined air-ride options available for classic Ford platforms. This kit includes two front single-adjustable HQ Series ShockWaves, engineered specifically for the suspension geometry and weight of 1960–1964 Ford and Mercury full-size models. The result is predictable handling, improved steering response, and a dramatically more responsive ride — all while giving you the instant adjustability that only air suspension can provide. To back it all up, the HQ Series carries RideTech’s legendary 1,000,001-mile warranty, ensuring long-term performance and peace of mind.
