;) too much money

;) drop your head under most of the 100 series and ALL of the 200 series

you will have a heart attack

IFS is that great that the manufacturers are doing it also

give it a few years and you will see the new generation of IFS
-Solid IFS

the benefits of Independant + the benefits of solid

how?
keep the wishbones, and add coils above the axle
( ;) a bit more work to it than that, but you get the point)

the rodeo has a "modified" Dana 44 rear- basicly, stronger than a 44
and the front is a "modified" isuzu 10 bolt- slightly weaker than the standard rear Dana 44

the Jackaroo's have the goods though
the rear is an ISUZU 12 bolt - with the guts slightly beefed up above the DANA 60
and the front is an ISUZU 10 bolt with the guts slightly beefed up above the DANA 44
