exactly !!!!

it would be like steering an air craft carrier. If that help out the imagination at all.

if you weld your front ifs you will break somethin way faster than a lunchbox locker!!! the hubs are only 26 splines and the ring gear is only 7.5 inches.....  do not weld the front!!! unless you want to work on it all the time!!! i'm on my third front ifs and the sas is coming in august!! with an elocker!!!

IMHO, locking the front will HELP the longevity of the drivetrain by minimizing the wheel speed when the tire lifts off the ground (which is common due to the lack of downtravel) and allowing you to crawl obstacles instead of using momentum.

I would not weld it though - one it won't turn, and two you'll go through steering components in a HURRY. I have ARB in the front, and I still kill power steering pumps.

whats a good inexpensive locker?

[Tallchevy]

Here's a link. Buy what you can afford. They have a good selection. I have a quik loc but thats my budget.

ya im gonna probly sas it for my seinor project. but my ifs will work for now. dose welding your rearend affect street driving a lot? was your truck that you welded a dd muddaddict?

ya i dd for a while its mainly to and from trails now but i still drive it! the only bad thing is the chirpping around corners but you can get away wiuth that byu just going slow! it will wear tires pretty quick though another downfall if you dd it but its cheap and if you weld it good reliable and works like a charm! i have my elocker set on all the time so its more or less jsut like its welded and it SUCKS to turn i wish i could disengage it so i would not rec welding the front it sucks to turn its much easier when the front open to turn!

[mudaddict]

i had an aussie in the front of my ifs when i had that didnt run ifs for much longer after that so cant really say how it worked but i have lots of friends who run aussies and the love them!

[Wermz84]

I just ordered an Aussie for myself this morning. 

[bigarms23]

I would go with a sas because on my 884runner i had a6inch ifs lift when i bought it in 2003 and kept killing my torsion mounts so i got mad and took out my plasma cutter and i like the look and ride from my sas swap. hopefully this helps

[907yota]

the only reason i put the shadey 4" IFS lift on my rig, is because it was free!!! it was off a 90  that went bak to stock and sold...all i bought was new bolts n little nik naks...i do lots off wheeling in it, goes where i want it to, dirves me to work everyday on 33's... but come october shits getting cut and SAS'd.

[twistedtoy92]

i couldnt afford doing the SAS this year to my 92 so i bought an 84 with a welded rear bobbed bed 35's long travel springs and an extra welded rear and complete 22r motor for less than $2300 bucks!!!
