sell it and buy a factory ifs truck.... converting a factory soild axle to ifs wouldnt be impossible but its so much work thats its not worth it, im sure someone would love to trade their ifs rig for your sfa rig

yea i thought of that.my dad has a nissan ifs 4wd.its a older 1990's truck.i have no clue what its called.it has a v6 in it tho.he said hell ya he would trade me,but i have to put a new front oil seal in and get it runnin great first.the only thing is.i LOVE the look of the toyota lol.the fender wells look rally stock.i guess i could make a fiberglass mold lol...my question is,i want to weld shock mounts on my leafspring bracket.but the gas tank would be in the way :-( any ideas on how to relocate it and raise it? also what kind of leafspring lift should i go for in the rear? i decied to go 3 point with leafsprings and king air smoothie 16" or 14" travel...thanks.

for ifs suspension it's either blazeland,or total chaos http://chaosfab.com/ .chaos is more expensive but... for myself i will spend the money and get the good stuff. for the rear suspension i'm leaning toward the 63" chevy spriings .http://www.nwtoys.com/content/135-ch...-swap-faq.html like dropzone said do some research. for fenders look at hanneman fiberglass http://www.hannemannfiberglass.com/
