Hey CronusTRD
Your right your 1950's straight axle design is the best. Smooth ride, no bump steer, no tracking problems. It is truly a shame that every truck manufacturer builds most of their 4x4 trucks with IFS front suspension. They are so stupid. Even the H1 which has IFS front and rear does so bad offroad that it is the vehicle of choice of the US military. You know the other real cheezy off road 4x4 trucks that run IFS is all the top finishers of the BAJA 500. If you like straight axles run them. Just don't expect me to use that rough ridin Junk.

just some info onyour post...
ifs is cheaper to manufactuer, and rides smoother on the highway... 2 +'s for the majority of the market they are selling too...
ifs wins the baja.. you are correct...
ifs is very good at high speeds, much better than a solid axle up front...
for rock crawling (which I enjoy the most) solid axle is much better due to the amount of flex one is able to get with very little modding...
hope this helps
