2WD vs 4WD?

Most people who say they won't own an IFS truck don't own one and never did. It's normally some sort of unfounded bias and ignorance of the way it actually works.

IFS trucks handle better, ride better, and generally get much better life out of front end components, even under heavy use such as snow plowing.

The only instance I have seen IFS trucks fail is beating the s$%# out of them at truck pulls, and even then its normally on severely lifted trucks.

I can think of more reasons not to own a solid front axle truck than an IFS truck. Search "death wobble" and see what you come up witch.

really. i had to replace my ifs front drive components not once but twice over a 10 year period.stock height.no heavy loads,marginally oversize tires and and stock rims.there is a reason why all the popular off road vehicles all have solid axle front drive.ifs trucks are good for highway driving.that's all.i know ,i've been there.and good luck severely lifting an ifs truck.it is wildly expensive to do.all custom components.thats why comparatively few people waste their money lifting gm trucks.
