I bought a real nice 48 ford f1 truck last year. I have been fine tuning it and now working on the ride. By that I mean I'm trying to improve the way it reacts to dips and bumps on the freeway. The truck has a mustang front end by chassis engr. So far I have replaced the rear shocks and removed the front and rear sway bars. This has provided a better but, I think there is more that can be done to the back suspension. The truck is very light in the back and I think it is too stiff for a good ride. I'm looking for some help. Would like to find someone in my area with the expertise in suspension to help me with this problem. I live in Ventura county specifically Moorpark 93021.
