Why does this kit: http://www.rockstomper.com/catalog/suspen/ifskit.htm require a 4" lift to be used?

 

It was designed around a 4" IFS bracket lift, you can't use it without the lift.

 

ah ok, thx

 

Says you can use stock cv's though... hmmm?

 

What about a 3" lift? Is this enough?

I'll post a reply when I get one.

 

Hey Shane, I was reading your modifications list and was thinking, wow... he's got a high pinion electric locker up front.... then I thought... wait a minute... he said something about 25mm torsion bars... And then I realized I was reading your "future" modifications.. haha... guess I need to pay a little more attention.

 

Here's what I got back:

> Would this work with a 3" suspension lift on a 91 Pickup?

The IFS travel kit works with 4" bracket lifts only; it will not work
with any 3" kit that we're aware of.

Ya, and that list is just a little out of date too...

 

i have a 4" trailmaster bracket lift. how does this thing work? i looked at the before and after pic... cant realli tell the difference.

will it help travel that much?

 

yeah is there really any gain

(anyone know first hand.....or and ramp proof)

 

From the looks of the picture, it makes a huge difference. If I had a 4" lift instead of my Rancho 3" lift, I would DEFINATELY buy the kit.

 

i really see no diffrence in the pic

 

 

That makes me want to buy a 4" lift just for that.

 

whoohoo i can get a whopping 5" of travel now! hehe jk.

extra 3" of travel is pretty good. for $40, i think ill try it out.

 

Where is a good place to purchase a 4" trailmaster or procomp lift?

 

at 4wheel parts... a lift for the IFS alone for a tacoma is $1500 . they say they have a procomp for the 86-95 but it doesnt list a price. im assuming its similar.

dang for that price do a freaking sas. i know its several hundred dollars more... but i think its worth it. get a 3" extra lift ... or get a CRAP LOAD more travel with an SAS?

if my truck didnt come with an ifs lift, i woulda shelled out the dough for a SAS

 

the ifs lift for a 2ng gen yota for me was a bit over 1k not including labor. im thinkin about tryin this travel kit too. i wonder how difficult it is to install.
