Default Re: Drop Staight Axle vs IFS

I will add a little more----When I rebuilt my 40 a few years ago, It was a total "frame off". My original frame was straight, level and true. I couldn't bear the thought to cut it up. I went with a narrowed, dropped front axle, Posey spring, four bar, billet hubs and rotors, custom sway bar and custom shocks. The ride is quite good and it handles "like a bear". Honestly, a well engineered IFS probably rides better---but I preferred to keep the basic original design.

The setup I used is expensive----so you are not saving any money with a dropped axle, etc.
