no pics of the frotn tho those are the only ones i found but i seen it. and it has there ifs

steve: I used to live in grand haven michigan...funny you should mention TJ....him and linda and shawn and nick all came down to visit me last weekend here in south carolina...I moved here about 7 months ago

Veeps if you only running 18's or even 20's why even bother with the IFS when you can make the stock setup work and look decent for half that price, Just curious?

i figure if im going to build a new chassis i'm gonna go all out. And i also want to do rack and pinion. I like the cleanliness of a custom IFS. Also...an s10 is a dime a dozen. Gotta go the extra mile to make it different. Going for the street rod look.

Wasn't scotts the ones who claimed to have no camber change throughout its travel?

you wont find an ifs that has no camber change, no camber equals poor handling, when you take a nice hard corner, the tires will try to tip on the sides with no camber gains. i guess havin no camber would be fine if you dont drive the truck hard.

The only way to get no camber change throughout the suspension travel is to have equal length control arms. Like chris said, this would drasticly affect handling at speed, and probably would not be a good idea on anything but a trailer queen. If you look at all the factory IFS setups, you would be hard pressed to find one with equal length control arms.

mine is goin to be driven. not trailered so i'm making this thing handle as awesome as i can make it handle.

I've used Scott's in the past and have been fairly happy with their product. The few times I've ordered from them, I've always had "some" issue that needed resolved after the sale (usually something not built quite to spec.. i.e. crossmember depth, etc.) however they have always handled it.

An equal length IFS suspension is definetly not something you'd ever want to drive... ever. All IFS suspensions are designed to have a shorter upper control arm, so that the upper travels through a tighter arc than the lower, causing something called camber gain. As you take a corner, and the chassis rolls, camber gain helps to maintain the tires contact patch, instead of rolling onto the edge of the tires.
