hey, i was wondering if anyone here has eliminated there IFS and put in a solid front axl? I would like to do this to my 90 f-150.

 

i havent yet but im gunna soon , i got a set of one ton axles off of a 78
so far i think i will have to add some hangers for the leaf springs... make a new steering system ummm add some leafs so it sits higher, bigger tires alot bigger, ummm new drive shafts
im sure there is a lot that i looked over

 

thanks for the reply man please let me know how your project goes, and give me some tip

BTW, good lookin truck!

 

For the New body style trucks, I asked this question a long time ago and there was actually a fairly expensive axle swap kit for about $4k (I may be totally off), it was a 4-link susp. kit. To me, it's not worth it unless you're rock crawling on the Moab or up Fordyce. You will never need flex like that unless you're doing those. We get away with IFS out here because most of us are mudders.

 

yea i have to say it was a nice looking truck when i got it but now its dented and a little beat up
haha and in that picture im accually leaning against the rusted out fender

 

I've done a SAS to my truck... you can see all the pics here http://fordtruckworld.tenmagazines.c...38-album-38639

I used a '76 F-150 front axle, Cage Offroad radius arms, Skyjacker 9" coil springs for the '70s F-150, '70s upper coil mounts, heim joint steering, custom fabbed track bar setup, heim joint track-bar.

It works great.

Here's a pic after the swap....


Let me know if you have any questions.

 

what about a swap on a 2001?

 

fabritech is the only company that i know of that makes a bolt on SAS, i have read that it is not a very good kit, i will be doing a custom SAS on my 03 in a few years or when a quality kit hits the market

 

i am looking at doing this to my 99 f150. I have looked at all the kits out there, and they are all the same and of not so great quality. I am designing my own 4 link system right now. I have all the measurements, it is just time for me to put ti all into suspension anylizer, crunch out some numbers, and then draw it up. Hopefully i can finish this project before the summer time comes around, so I'll keep everyone posted.

 

Nice...

 

yes that truck is very nice . i will stick to my ifs for my truck since i rarely am off road

the green one rocks... he is also on cardomain

 

I have done a SAS on my brothers 89 bronco. It was a good bit of work and I would not recomend it unless you are advanced in fabrication. I will post some pics of the project tomorrow. You can see a few pics at www.xwerx.net
