Which Mustang II IFS? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

renegade8720 · 07-25-2008, 04:07 AM

Hi, I just bought a 50 Chevy 3100. I am getting ready to start the build and I am getting my parts list together. I have been looking at the differrent brands of IFS setups and wondered what you all recommend? Should I go with manual rack & pinion or power? Stock or 2" drop? I don't want to run bags.
I will be running a four link rear setup with coil overs.

Thanks for your advice,

Renegade

Welcome to the site. Lots of info here for your ride to be. If you do a quick search there has been lots of info and opinions on types of MII setups on this forum.
PS we like pictures......

Have you looked at Industrial Chassis Inc, Steve makes a crossmember for the A D trucks that uses 86 to 90 Dodge Dakota bolt on parts and they use a power Rack and Pinion the best part is this is a suspension from a truck about the same weight as our AD's. These parts fit like a glove with very little grinding and they come with the boxing plates as part of the crossmember.
The GMC that I am driving now has a Mll so this one I am going to use the Dakota it is for a 53 Chevy

I have Heidts IFS with a 2" drop and power rack. It is probably the most expensive IFS but touted to be the best. I won't be trying it out for another 2 or 3 months (praying) so cannot testify as to how well it works yet.

TCI & heidts look the same when put side by side...buy the cheaper of the two.

After reading your suggestions, I am leaning toward the Heidts. I really like the way they are set up. I also talked to one of the top rod shops in my area and they use Heidts 8 out of 10 times over the other popular brands.

Thanks for your help,
