Re: Switching from early axle to late IFS style

I'm kicking around the idea of changing my rear axle this summer (narrow 85) to the later IFS wider style. Mostly I want to do this to get rid of the rear wheel spacers, upgrade to the stronger V6 third while upgrading to a Trutrac or ARB locker. I would like to build the complete axle and just swap it all at once. 

Are any spring mount changes required? no

Any driveshaft mods required?no

Can I still use the LPSV since this is a daily driver and not a rock crawler? yes

Is this a plug and play swap basically? yes
:thumbs:
