Rumor is the JK will be going to IFS. NOW is the time for Mitsubishi to act! They could become the 4x4 of choice.

That could be the justification that Mitsu uses to retain their IFS design since "everyone" is moving to it.

Good feedback guys! I think better motor/tranny options with rugged style (good enough for even the mall crawlers) would be a good start

I heard about that, i imagine though the Rubicon model would retain it's axle up front though.

Either way Mitsu needs to get back in the game, body on full frame and rear live axle minimum. IRS is just more stuff to break and wear out, imagine having to rebuild your entire suspension at the same time. I get way more service life out of the rear suspension vs the front on my Gen 2.
