Please there is no way you can wheel an IFS rig hard, they are just too weak.
Did you take a good look at my avatar?
haha nope i just assumed that u where SASd, do u have plans to do a SAS? how is wheelin on hard trails with IFS? iv only done moderate trails
IFS would be great (of course independent wheel flex is ideal in theory) but one of the biggest concerns is that not only is it heavier than a live axle, but the majority of the weight is fully connected to the chassis and at a higher location. So the center of gravity is much much higher as compared to a live axle.The live axle's weight is fully suspended by the tires, and below the springs, whereas the IFS the weight is bolted to the chassis. This is why live axles has a nicer ride over perpendicular objects and this is why the shocks always go out on IFS much faster than on Live axles.Just to much weight to high up and connected to the frame. I think that if it did not have this drawback, then it would out wheel a live axle.Regards,BigMike

having duals must reallllllly help though.
cetainly does, but it never stopped me before I had them. I beat on my truck plenty before I had duals, I just don't have any pics, because they're trapped in my other computer, and I haven't recovered them yet. Even that says something. I decided to go for duals rather than do a SAS, I'd rather have the duals and wheel an IFS rig than have a stock t-case in a SAS rig.
thats basically my thoughts, if you can keep traction and not bounce around all teh time it seems like you could do alright, and your locked front and rear arent you?
dang, your setup.
Those tracks are inspiring... top effort driving Here's a pic of mine...and I just put my front end back in today... here's why it was out
