Complete Scotts IFS install (how to) with pictures...

[chevyrestoguy]

That was outstanding. I love step-by-step documentation with photos, and your post did a great job explaining the process. Nice work, too.

Justin- I've been a big fan of your stuff for a long time. Keep us posted with your shop projects.

Justin you should make a DVD of this to give to your customers when they order to use as a reference guide along with instructions. It will do away with alot of confusion with us simple rednecks from Tennessee. LOL

Yeah if not a DVD at least host a few videos on YouTube or on your site because after reading your photo writeup its something I would take a stab at with the help of a buddy who knows how to weld. Hes helped me before and I feed him well.

There are a few companies out there in the Jeep world that started doing it like Currie and Rokmen and I'm absolutely positive they are getting more business and exposure because the installs look simple and its something that is on their mind and their buddies when they recieve and email saying "Hey Check this out" They even do it Truck, Hotrod, Muscle Car style so its segmented and gives them personality. Unless of course your a wacko and don't want customers to know that hahahahaha

For the stink bug comment that is funny,when you told me you did not
want your truck to sit to low in the back.I asked you why you told me
your wife or cow would not be able to ride in it anymore.


I said fine so keep it like a stink bug

if you understood how the install went and how easy it is.
The scotts standard ifs is even less work.This is how,
It will be the same style crossmember but it will not
have any airbag brackets or shock mounts you have to weld
to the top of the frame.You will not have to knotch out the
frame for rack and pinion clearence.

The crossmember will have the upper coil-over mounts welded to the top of the crossmembr.The lower a-arm will have
a lower shock mount welded to the lower a-arm.The coil-overs we use are Alden coil-overs fully adjustable on the
spring rate and the rebound.They are nitrogen charge.
You can go to www.scottshotrods.com and go to scotts custom ifs and you can view the scotts standard ifs.

Actually you can also go to our website www.scottshotrods.com and download the ifs installation instructions. It's in the ifs section. It's not for the same truck, but the installs the same way.

[jephs422]

check out the ifs group buy thread for updated pricing...you guys will be surprised!!!

I have a question you say to measure up 3 1/4" with the lower control arm at ride height. I did and that only gives me about 2 -3" of upwards travel. in the pictures it shows measuring 3 1/4" with the lower arm pointing up

[Scottshotrods]

I just sent you e-mail and here it is to you want to have your upper bag mount installed at 3 1/4 with the suspenion at full compression this is meaning with the truck all aired out.Not at ride height

Call us at the shop if you have some questions 805 485-0382

Is there a follow up video on how to aling this IFS after the project is complete with the proper tires and all the weight on the vehicle?
