does anybody on the forums have one??

 

[Outlaw Ram]

I dont think anybody on the forum has one, nobody really likes that IFS.

i dont really see why people dont like ifs i dont have anything against it cause i am not paying 30+ thousand dollars to go tear it up in mud and on trails the people that do that to a 30,000 dollar truck (not bashing just givin my .02cents) have more money then they do brains i have a 78 cj7 thats sittin under my garage next to my 99'yamaha grizzly 600 that i use to play in but thats just my thoughts.

There are a few reasons people like a live axle compared to an IFS set-up. With a live axle, there are more options for acheiving greater articulation (flex) out of your suspension set-up. Greater articulation capabilities will enable you to go places you never thought possible. I don't think I've ever seen a rock-crawling rig with an IFS??? IFS is good for comfort reasons, so for people who do majority of their driving on pavement will benefit from an IFS. If you are more into 4-wheeling, the live axle would be the way to go. It's all just a matter of preference... :bigthumb:

heres a few pics of my 2 mud/trail toys the first one is my 78 cj7 its stock all but some 30x9.5x15 tires and the second is of my 99'yamaha grizzly 600 w/26'highlifter outlaws mounted on ITP chrome rims

what yall think about my "toys"?

 

[Yota]

I like your Yamaha, The CJ needs some work. Would make a great project though. I thought the 77-87 CJ's came stock with 33" tires?

 

[TotalPerformance]

my gramps owned it before he gave it to me so im not real sure if it came with 33's or not but im pretty sure it didnt.

I just bought a 2002 Dodge Ram 4X4 regular cab...have Pictures but not to sure how to post them on here...

I love my 02 Ram. The IFS ain't that great off-road, but anything can be changed given enough money.

I prefer taking a nice, newer model vehicle and using it for offroad. If I am going to go out and spend the money on a lift kit, big tires, gears and other stuff for offroading I want to do it to my daily driver not some old junk rusted out thing that I only use on the weekends. If you know what you are doing you can easily have a ton of fun offroading without messing up your truck one bit. and on the ifs note, even if you dont offroad your truck, but just want to put big tires on for the look (snicker) The ifs is weak and youll start breaking and wearing out parts much faster than normal just from the bigger than stock tires.

Short phrase "IFS Sucks", Why do Chrysler install on the new 2500 and 3500 models axles?, because they are weak?. no no no, because they are firm and canfident.
By the way, I really like toys, I own a Honda CR500, an Honda XR600, and a Honda XL185 for my wife, also I have a Kawasaki 750 SX jetski with all the Ocean Pro Upgrades for the engine. Toys are Fun but the feeling for the truck is a very different thing.

 

[HotChiliRam]

I forgot, The lift kit that is installed on the red Ram, I thought that was from Whiplash. Not from FullThrotle.

 

[77Blaza]

If im not mistaken i think Full throttle and Whiplash are the same thing.

 

[HotChiliRam]

I don´t know really, but I´ve heard very bad thing about Whiplash. Things like that the lift that they make are crap and stuff like that. I´ve never seen one, so I don´t know.
