SFA is a term used when its got a straight axle from the factory SAS is when you cut the IFS off and put a straight axle in... Thats the terms we have been using for about 6 years.

When you have a front tire start to compress, usually there are only 2 factors that go into what will cause the other side to droop. 1 being the rear spring rates, forcing the front tire to droop, and the front tire compressing and hitting a bump stop, forcing the other tire to droop (force articulation so to speak....

Now, the comment of the tire riding on the edge, I don't see that, I do however see an IFS doing this more. Here is an example, take a line and draw it at 30 degrees from left to right. make the body of the rig level and both front tires on the line(showing the front at the 30 degree angle). On a straight axle, both tires are level to the surface, where the ifs is not due to the nature of how its desinged...

I agree, the H2 is just too big(not saying that you can't, just the reality of it) for playing in the big rocks.

But I agree, go with a locker in the front, but make it selectable (been running arb's since 94)
