Well ole buddy I take it that your not very educated when it comes to this forum. First off there's a search link. Works charms on most things lol.

But anyways lol there's no possible way of running a IFS with leaf springs unless your using a straight axle for the conversion. That's referred to as a SAS here on yotatech and other forums. Oh SAS AKA straight axle swap

But the conversion depends on what your wanting to build. I'd much rather have the IFS for a daily driver. Although if you do some serious offloading then a SAS will be better.

Do a search and keep us informed with your results
