Here's some more of mine!













I've thrashed on my IFS since 2003, first with 37"s, then with 35"s (couldn't afford 37"s again)  I've got a lockrite up front, and up until this last 'con trip, have only broken a few pieces on the front end ( a couple stub shafts, and some steering parts)  This last trip spelled the end of IFS for me, I broke 4 axles and a hub, just on the front end.  I believe I've thrashed it to the point of no return, as my driving style hasn't changed.  I don't believe my IFS framework is square any longer, which in turn puts more stress on everything underneath.

and so you can see how it fills up the fenders

Just from looking at your avatar, you're looking for something like this:




The Sonoran Steel recipe involves their lift kit ~3", a 1.5" body lift, and offset rims.
SS is a reasonable place to start when one wishes to mix 35s and 3rd gen IFS-ness:
