ifs is kinda bad . . had an f150 that busted the cross member (heard common prob) . . plus wide tires give all ifs and sa probs . . run the bearings and stuff . . but know a guy with a bronco on 39 claws running ifs . . . and a guy that has a 90 something tahoe on 38x11 boggers and a 383 stroker motor and running ifs . . . .to each their own I guess and I think baja belts come pretty wide . .

yea the baja's come in the same sizes as well as the atz's. is that tahoe white by any chance. i guess when i start breakin shit all the time i will probably do a sas. but for now its fine, and i have had no issues with it at all. maybe its because the truck itself is really light, being that its a single cab. i dunno. i honestly dont think that the ifs is gonna be the big problem, i honestly think its gonna be in the rack and pinion.

It really depends on what you are doing with it. They each have their own advantages. I would actually prefer a long travel ifs system as opposed to a sfa, however the cost is a good bit more for the long travel ifs. If I had plans to continue to daily drive my 4runner then I would go with the long travel system however I am going to be picking up another 4runner in the near future to daily drive... as soon as that day comes I will start the working on the 4-link.

i just sold a jeep with some 35x16x15 boggers on 14" wide welds. it was nasty. wide is the way to go. skinny sucks.
