IFS.... = no flex??? help
Hey all .. The IFS will not flex at all.. even if the rear is all the way out the front will still sit strangh.. what can i do to fix this.. and no i am not doin a SAS.. for now
Even though IFS has very limited flex it should still move a little. I think mine will droop about 50-60mm measured from middle of hub to bottom of guard lip.
When you lift an IFS vehicle all you are really doing to the front is changing where the vehicle sits between the top and bottom bump stops. From the factory it probably sits in the middle. However when you lift it (wind the torsion bars) you are moving closer to the upper bump stop.
Sit your vehicle on flat gound and see if you can slip something between your wishbone and upper bump stop. If they are touching on flat ground then you will have zero down travel and plenty of up travel.
You can fit low profile bump stops or cut down your existing ones in a bid to get some down travel back.
It is a common misconception that solid axle vehicles have more flex than IFS vehicles. However this is not always true. They have more potential but not always more travel as such. Have you ever seen how much front travel a Discovery has?
