If parts are dime a dozen and there is a kit out there that would make this conversion as easy as a SFA and work better...in response to the title.... No, I will not re-think a SFA. IFS can kiss my torched off brackets good bye. Period.

By the way...4 wheel burnouts are easy.... I do it all the time.....in mud and dirt. He didn't say he was doing it in pavement and upright..... LOL sometimes things are taken out of context.....

would like to see this setup with a 4" bracket lift and the blazeland LT setup, i think you would be able to move the droop stops and bump stops for more travel, would be very cool,

i say super low stock length bump stops

Many MKIII Supra owners routinely put down 500+rwhp on stock differentials and stock 20+yr old CV axles. They're tough as nails. Ask me how I know.

There are guys making 850+rwhp on stock rear assys.

Seriously... our CVs can handle much more horsepower than either the 22R or 3vz puts out. The problem is the angles they are exposed to WITH power applied. Turning, droop, compression, all of it is off axis as far as the CV joint is concerned. The supra swap moves the pivot angle away from the hub and lessens the off axis load.

I'm really becoming disappointed in today's education system.

The supras handled 500+ horse on road.
Little to no CV angle.
How will those CVs hold up to the severe angles off road?

I thought that was the known information around here. Guess not? I was just stating that the CV's are durable.

I'm not saying that the CV's get as much angle as on the front of a Pickup, because that's certainly not the case. However, the rears of the drag cars squat a significant amount, thus putting them at decent angles. Nowhere near the angle of the front of a pickup with the wheels turned, but they're pretty hefty regardless. I'm very interested to see how this turns out, as I've got four spare Supra CV's at my house, and two spare diffs.

I think i can answer the question about the bracket lift.
In a stock IFS system, the drivers side axle shaft extends under the oil pan. And then goes to the pumpkin, of course.
There is not enough clearance between the pumpkin and oil pan for the pumpkin to sit underneath the pan in stock form.

that's a GOOD point about the CV angles and how strong they are when at extreme angles.

but i'm sure if a stock toyota CV busts...then these will as well, but they might just be able to withstand a little more

i have a good question....i think.

Can the 8" stock Elocker be retrofitted into the Supra 8" "front diff" (the 8" rear supra diff...)

No. The E locker is 100% in the casting, not the carrier.
