Re: '50 3100 Son/Father Build Eastern N.C.

The IFS is installed, will get photo up soon. I was surprised at how rigid the frame is in front now. I strapped the chassis down on open trailer & the installer reached over & grabbed the ends of the frame & they will move/twist far greater than i thought possible. We were discussing whether to install 4-link rear or leaf spring kit like TCI. He has installed both & says the leaf spring kit will give a lot of body roll considering how rigid the front is with new IFS.

So this brings up the question, which gives the best ride, 4-link or leaf spring?
The 4-link cost more, I was leaning towards the TCI kit, & i guess if the frame were boxed at least back to above the rear end, the chassis flex would be greatly reduced.
