Sorry, but I don't see it. The reason the front suspension ran for so long of a time on these trucks is it is a very good design, that works well with mods. I feel that the savings seen from buying a Jag IFS cheaply will be diminished once its actually installed and made to function properly. I will agree that its a good system to adapt to pre-62 trucks and cars, but I see no mechanical advantage on a later IFS.

Is the one pictured a right hand drive?
