Has anybody installed this before? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Did a search on this but didn't seem to find anything. Has anybody installed the Wide Ride IFS kit from no limit engineering? Looks like a great set up and for the price it seems even better. I was searching tubular control arms and found this. Any experience or thoughts about this? Here's the link http://nolimit.net/prodinfo.asp?number=WRIFS-C

Might be a possibility for those w/drum brakes looking to swap to discs, R&P, & car pattern.

If you already have discs, Porterbuilts 'Dropmember' is the better choice: just as low or lower, 90% bolt-in installation, re-uses existing truck a-arms or aftermarket tubular arms, uses 12" truck disc brakes (or truck alternatives), & R&P steering.

I think there is a write-up on this in the latest Classic Trucks mag but it was on a 55?ish pickup. Same components though. It looks great, but I'm not sure that there is an advantage over some of the other crossmembers and control arm set-ups (porterbuilt for example). The way the lower arms are set way back has a weird look to me. And this is a design for multiple applications, not just 67-72. $2300...no thank you. Just my .02.

If your looking for a IFS that can be custom tuned to your application, check out www.scottshotrods.com. They are a Forum Vendor and frequent this forum.

It's not a bolt in, but in my research they offer the widest range of options for a custom designed IFS. It's not the cheapest, but it's not built from left over Mustang II parts either.

Cool, thanks for the link. I think I've looked at that before but thought I was going to stay stock but now but considering dropmember with tubular control arms with the rack set up.

Talk to nate he can do coil overs instead of bags or has a c4 one which uses c4 corvette parts.
