Most go IFS rears in the rear then the standar rears in the front, with either banana shaped or extended shackels. Gives them better flex i think.

You are much better off with standered rears in front.

you will get all the flex you will need with rears up front unless you want to run a stiff leaf pack

i had ifs rears in the front of mine with a drop front cross member and it flexed awesome!

All i had to do was weld on new mounts for the rear of the leaves, but it was a little tricky because of the taper of the chassis. Nothing a bit of steel angle didn't fix though.

He should of pushed harder. Or just told Scotty to have a go, and stood back as it bounded of the limiter and broke everything (oh, that was when it had the L series diesel, and was even slower than the pink braclet wearer himself) :finger: :D . What has the shorter centre pin to eye length, the IFS rears or the STD rears. :???
