I bought a very clean '90 pickup , my plans were to mainly use it to tow my fishing boat and some weekend trail rides. My build up is focused on expedition travel ,no major rock crawling but I do have some small boulder fields I would like to drive over.
OK heres my issue. I don't really need any lift because I am only running 31's, I did plan on some heavy torsion bars to bring the front back up after adding a bumper and winch. I want my truck to be reliable but I have read a lot of bad press about the IFS front suspension so I am looking at ways to upgrade, so far I have found Downy and Total Chaos long travel kits to be a great option but as I continue to read about these IFS trucks everyone is swaping in a solid axle, it sounds pretty easy but I already have a new gears and a ARB locker in the front of this IFS and they will not interchenge. I dont mind spending money on the right parts but this truck already having the locker and gears was a selling point for me.
Is a IFS really as weak as a egg shell as most say they are?
I really don't want to be stranded on a remote desert road with a busted cv joint.
anyone have a solid axle for sale?
