Re: Best IFS set-up for 56 Chevy Pickup front?

I have to agree with Scoti...its all has to do with budget....I like Scotts stuff.. used it for years but I see his point about any certian ways items are build,used or built for adjustment...
another thing to think about is welding/fab capabilities.....you can buy alot of weld in parts and they will work and be safe if you can put them in yourself you can save a buck or two

so we really need to know what your end goal is??

how low do you want it
what type of steering
air or spring or coil over
what are you going to use the truck for
what wheels ( brake size)


IMAO I would look for a bolt in kit MOST of the kits out there are pretty complete this is a place you dont want to go back and do again....on a side note MARK YOUR CENTER OF WHEEL WELL BEFORE YOU TAKE THE FENDERS OFF...you'll thank me later...

another option I would use ( I'm old school) is just add a disc brake spindle and a lowering springs with a good panard bar....I love the look of a Kool straight axle they drive fine handle well and did I mention How Kool they look!!!
