Gday,

Got to start thinking about suspension and Just wandering what sort of flex guys are getting out there with the IFS rears on there 4 runners/Luxies out there and what shocks they are running.

My truck has extended shackles all around, dropped hangers, rears to the front.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Dave

got 2 pairs of ifs rears in my shed if anyone is looking for some for cheap.
prob best suited to someone near the forster/taree area on midnorth coast cause freight would be crazy.

Yeah, they do the job if you take out any load springs. because the centre pin is closwer to the front of the spring (the pivot end), then the increase in travel is not as much as you might think, but definetely worth doing. Also good idea to move hanger 4ward or chassis end shackle mount back to return shackle angle to normal to maximise up travel.

The centre pin is actually set about an inch further from the front pin resulting in 1" extra wheel base and allowing possible better articulation. they aren't crash hot in std form though.
