More Napkin scratch.
When planning an IFS for a certain chassis, again, wheel size and ride height are right up there. I like to keep the bottom of the front crossmember close to being even with the bottom of the main rail (general rule) If the crossmember is much lower, it will be the first thing to hit the ground (5" dropped C10) If the crossmember is much higher, it will cause drastic eng/trans driveline angles, more than 5 degrees. So, there has to be a balance with the Tire/spindle/rack/crossmember to keep things working good. This is mostly food for thought. You also have to use whats available, as most of us don't have the budget to build 100% spec custom everything (Indy car)
