Current Suburban is my first IFS on a 4x4
Love it on pavement, but hate it off roading
If I keep the Sub long enough, it will have a Dana 60 or 70 front end some day
The precision of IFS can NOT be denied, but live axle can be designed to have
similar precision. That is with a properly designed panhard rod and maybe a
couple other links
My debate within self is that I don't want to lift it for the live axle and that
the Suburban is a whale out there. Noodling another K5 (FJ40's are now too expensive)
or ATV's
