I guess the reason I skipped and IFS lift was after having an '80 model when I was younger that had 35's and 5-6" of lift, driving an IFS rig on the trail was disappointing. I cranked the t-bars, shaved the bumpstops, ect., but I coundn't keep 4 wheels on the ground. I know a locker makes all the difference, but it seemed to me that doing an SAS was a step I wanted to make before I put one in. Having a locker with IFS is still wheeling with IFS. Besides, I getta kick out of seeing how twisted up I can get it. And even without a locker, I can go places now that I had no chance of getting to before the swap, just because all the work isn't being done by the rear.

For those of you who have an IFS and dig it, more power to ya.
