On my '55.2 I am using C4 IFS with the FlatOut cross member. We boxed the front portion of the frame only. In the rear I used a conventional live axle flipped on top of the leaf springs. This will result in dramatically olowering my truck and giving me a much better ride. But now I wish I'd have used the IRS too. Oh well. Depending how and how much I end up driving my truck this is an future modification waiting to happen.
