Go with a later 1st gen. Save the 300.00 that was mentioned earlier and get a Roger Brown body lift for an 88 or 89. In PA, probably have better luck finding one in half way decent shape. My IFS front end is pretty much stock except for the 2" body lift and Detroit (Lockright in rear). I beat the heck out of mine and the IFS should be fine for what you describe. Also running 34's. Flat belly from Budbuilt helps too. Here is a pic from the last outing.. The picture does not do this rock justice..
