any benifits to running a C4 IRS on a mild 67?
I found a C4 IRS in a pile of trash at auction, trying to decide wether to put it under my truck or make some money on it. My truck is a pretty mild build, I like my 4-6 drop stance and want to keep it. No notch. Some towing and hauling, I will probably use air shocks to tune height with a load along with the stock monoleaf.
I'm wondering if there will be a notable improvement in handling. I know the vette stuff is designed for a vehicle with a lower roll center (I'm running a fuel cell below the bed). The mounts look pretty simple, batwing bushings sit wide enough to place mounts on outside of frame, the foreward links will require some big mounts and ill have to tune in some anti-squat when I design those. So no notch, batwing below the frame, mild drop benifits over straight axle. All of the trucks I've seen running C4 IRS have huge notches or have been back halfed.
