The IFS on a GM HD truck has very little travel until it hits a jounce bumper and the torsion bar spring is not as good as a coil spring. Not a good design to absorb high impact shock.
BTW... No one is arguing with you but more like disagreeing with you.
Bottom line the Jeep has it's place in the off road world and now the same goes with the new Bronco.
I disagree with people all the time, but I don't comment or quote them. The second I do, then it becomes and argument or debate. There is a difference.
In regards to the GM IFS. I Googled multiple posts of yours talking about your parents GM IFS. In some you say it is better than a solid axle and in others you say it is no difference that your solid axle truck. You even mentioned in some that they are not reliable as a solid axle. So I guess it depends on the brand the IFS is attached to on which is better?
A lot of comparisons you're wrapping up here. IFS in a half ton performs different from a IFS in a HD truck and reliability is different as well. A IFS in a HD performs different if a gas engine or diesel engine is setting above it. A IFS in a HD performs different if its a two wheel drive vs a four wheel drive. When I made comments on a Solid axle truck it was a coil sprung suspension and not a leaf spring suspension which are worlds apart for ride quality. Brand has nothing to do with my comments.
