IFS Truss - Who makes the best bolt on?
I have been researching and found several manufacturers of the IFS truss and on the forums everyone has differing opinions. Some think the NWOR is junk and others liked it. Some recommended the downey. Who make the best bolt on truss? I do not really want to weld it in place because I read it makes getting at the front diff harder. I also do not want to lose any ground clearance up front from it. Any recommendations are appreciated.

I have been running the Downey one for years and have had no problems at all. It is totally dented and beat up now, but it has held up great. You don't lose any ground clearance. It is one of the few decent products Downey has ever made.

I ran the Downey truss on my 86 Extracab and I can also vouch for the quality of it. I jumped that truck many times with no problems. NWOR- you know what that stands for right? I also vaguely remember somebody else making one that I saw recently-All Pro Off Road, maybe?

The drop portion of the frame, where the control arms mount, tend to bend outwards like this / \ . The Downey or NWOR truss keeps them straight, like this l l.
