Haven't used one but it looks like another Mustang II suspension clone. The aftermarket MII suspensions made especially for trucks work out nice but can be pricey. That price seems a little less than others I've seen....

That looks very similiar to my Fatman kit. Last I saw Fatman offered stainless a-arms in their base kit, might be worth checking out. Just my 2 cents but I found the coil springs a bit of a pain. I might pop for coilovers or air bags if I were doing it over.

The Hoffman / Autoloc products usually are at the higher end of the price scale, although that price seems not bad, is that with the tubular A arms as shown? I don’t know about for the ‘60 but Heidts makes an economy kit for earlier models with stamped A arms and strut rods.

Oh, put the year in your post next time so that I don’t have to look it up, thanks.

Yes, Autoloc tends to buy parts manufactured by others or cloned overseas then rebadge them and mark up the price. Be sure to get a full list of included parts, rotor size and replacement part #s when price comparing. Personally I like Art Morrison and Heidt's products for no comprimise aftermarket suspension.
