Hey there all
Does anyone have any mods for getting more articulation on an IFS hilux,
I have changed torsion bars, modified bumpstops and put spacers on my shocks
Cheers

Been through this.
As far as I am concerned you can not get an huge increase in articulation
without distroying CV .
Have tried ball joint spacers ,low profile bump stops and lowering the diff
to get better CV angles.
I have found that the best off road setup is:
Standard Torsion Bars and fit a locker in the front.
Fitting a locker will also help save you from busting the front diff.
For the rear you can change the shock mount position,not the 1 front ,1back set up.
Soft 2 inch lift rear springs.
Keep the factory rubber in the springs and shocks as I found nylon bushes
don't flex as well.
If you want articulation go and see CHEEZY.
At the end of the day SAS.

Its no joke, dont waste your money on bandaids, save up for SAS or sell you rig and buy a solid axle.
Every IFS i has seen wheeling sux big time. Just look at hummers for instance.

Depends were you get it done and what you get done and what you have already got for parts.
I supplied the diff (complete),extra passenger steering arm and leaves and it cost 2K that included IFS hub kit
