4x4 conversion SAS or IFS
ok so i am in the planning stages of my 4x4 conversion now and once i start i am going to do the whole thing at once (axle tranny ect) but i am trying to decide if i should do a SAS or IFS conversion... if i go the SAS route i will use a dana 44 and possibly a ford 9 inch rear and if i go the IFS route it will be basically stock parts with a RCD lift kit installed... either way im not going larger than 35's so tell me which you think i should do and why

And apparently you want the misery of the SAS work! I joke about it, but I'm very glad I took it on -- I learned a lot...sometimes the hard way, lol.
It's all in what you want, Billy. I'll be wheeling with some IFS guys still. But I think you'll find IFS is a maintenance headache down the line more than a SAS will be. The SAS will be expensive and trouble up front, less trouble down the road.

thats the only reason i would want the IFS because it is soo much easier to do... but the SAS is way cooler
