Old one is Live axle

New one is IFS

Search for the differences if you don't know already. IFS better at everything except off road. Live axle stronger and better off road.

well the best of both worlds - except for the better handling bit :lol:

Drive both, if your happy in the solid axle model then it will do everything you want. but if you dont like driving the truck like solid axle then you will be happier in the ifs car every day.

how much 4wding do you plan on?

oh and 8500 for the 98 model seems pretty cheap. 6500 fot the 96 model is about what you expect.
