I'm not planning on running IFS. My '97 already has a SAS with D44s & 35"s. Well aware of how big a 37" is. laugh laugh This build will also get a solid axle conversion, but will be running a 3-link up front and leaf springs in the rear with Dynatrac ProRock 44s front and rear.

Trying to decide if I can justify this ... laugh

I'm not up to posting the suspension stuff yet. I'm trying to get all the stuff I need to do before it goes to the shop for the SAS up. That is a LOT of stuff. smile I have an appointment with the shop the 2nd of January to go over everything and get the ball rolling. I was worried about not being able to do the 3-link but we may have that figured out. With the 2" body lift we may be able to raise the engine and transmission 1-2" to clear the upper link. Keeping my fingers crossed! laugh

Cool!! Good to hear! Yea, been there. That's how I could tell it was time to replace the slip yoke on my '97 back before the SYE. Good that fixed things, though!
