Progressive Automotive Triangulated 4-bar suspension with Ride Tech HQ coil-overs & Wilwood brakes

Progressive Automotive’s Triangulated 4 bar rear suspensions bars are made from heavy wall, seamless tubing, ensuring strength and durability. The bars are TIG welded for both structural integrity and strength, not to mention appearance. All bars feature an adjustable end, allowing for easy adjustment. This feature enables you to fine-tune the suspension for alignment and pinion angle. Ride heights can be custom tailored to you taste during your installation. Frame rails must be boxed for bracket attachment points.

We can custom build for non-stock frames and most vehicles not listed. Inquire for details.

The kit are designed for steel housing rear ends, such as 8″ and 9″ Ford and 8 3/4 Chrysler rear ends, where steel brackets can be welded to a steel housing. These kits are not designed for Dana style (cast housing) rear ends. See our Parallel 4-bar for Dana style rear ends.

Specify either urethane bushings or Ride Tech R-Joints.

-Urethane Bushings Facts:  Urethane bushings provide controlled movement and vibration isolation.

-R-joints: R-Joints offers low friction movement, allowing for smooth and effortless articulation and durability. This feature enhances the overall ride, performance and handling of the suspension system.
