Topic: Toyota IFS swap?

[NerdStatus]

I want to build a 4-door with a Suzuki 2.7L, automatic and 25/37" tires. I know the SAS is quite popular, but I prefer to keep IFS. Anyone know if Toyota IFS will survive with tires that big? I'm considering a front clip swap.

I think you will find the Toyota IFS not up to the task, 35's are really pushing the edge of their capabilities so 37's are beyond what an IFS front can handle.

Not sure why you prefer IFS, but im not sure it would be worth your time to do unless you really love it. a solid axle swap would be much less time and would hold up to more abuse.

But i have wheeled my Toyota IFS on 35s and BLACKDOG has been wheeling his for a few years on 35s. He is now doing an SAS on his truck after 4years i think...i think a lot of it is driving style...

Not sure why you prefer IFS

I like the way my current IFS performs in dunes & fire roads. I know Suzuki & Toyota IFS are different (single a-arm vs dual a-arm, coil vs torsion bar), so for all I know it could be a really bad idea. Just something I was thinking about. I've seen two other guys do it (smaller tires). They complained aobut a stiff ride, but I've got a big bumper, winch and will be putting in the V6...

you know other people that have transferred Toyota IFS to a Suzuki?

imo,ball joints, cv axles & torsion bars are fairly strong. the ring & pinion are not so strong especially for high speed 4x4 action. power vs weight ratio, keep it lite & under powered, or go 1 ton gm ifs.

I need some IFS parts

[86rustbucket]

like what?

[MudSlinginYota]

i ran 35x15.5 TSL/SX on my taco ifs and wheeled the piss out of it never broke anything... ifs is ok and all but its just stupid in comparison to a solid axle. its impossible to get the articulation. ifs is good for the dunes and the road. thats about it

[86rustbucket]

and youl NEVER break a birf

[Samiman]

Just sas the dang thing.

[Tofudude]

the only time you will true-ly NEED a sas or front axeled truck is if your going rock crawling. Fire roads and dunes, ifs all the way.
