Welcome to the board. 8) You are right, thousands of IFS rigs have gone under the knife for a SAS conversion to a straight axle. Should you go this route?

There have been a lot of stories of people who spent good money on IFS lifts over the years who later realized SAS is the way to go.

IMO you should wheel it as is until your skills and needs require the mods. By then you will have read this and other forums to know what you want.
