Which IFS to purchase?
Hey guys. starting on my dads chassis. It is a 55 chevy truck and I am building the full frame for it. I have been shopping around for a bagged front suspension. Been looking at Speedways kits. Trying to stay around the 2000.00 range. Any pointers from you guys experiences with different kits is highly appreciated.

I went with No Limit Engineering IFS and it was real simple to install and a nicely put together kit. Handles very well on the street, a huge improvement over the stock suspension.Great customer service as well.

Re: Which IFS to purchase?
for what its worth...
I just completed an installation of a TCI MII with coil springs on my 56. Without removing the front sheet metal, yes it is possible, but had to remove the engine. Went with CPP 6 lug hubs and big brakes since I wanted to stick with my 6 lug smoothies. Note the inner fender cut-out. With NON-dropped spindles, it sets at the came height it sat at with only four (4) leaves in the original front spring pack. This is actually a before picture, but ride height is unchanged. The ride and handling are GREAT!! I've got non-power brakes, master cylinder is 1 inch bore, rear brakes are OEM and the stopping power is more than adequate. Hope this helps. justplainray |
