IFS decision help
I hope this isnt a stupid newbie question. Im sorry if it is.
I have been trying to decide on what to do with the IFS on Isaacs truck. The short story is, I bought a cheap helix kit before I knew what it was, and installed it. After getting the truck about 95% done, I realized there were too many issues with the IFS to continue. With regret, my wife and I decided to go back and fix everything. The truck is soon coming back apart, so I am planning and gathering parts for the winter thrash.
The decision comes in with the IFS. Im going to remove the helix kit, at least all of the parts except the cross member. I havent decided yet. I was going to get the Paul Horton welder series mustang 2, and replace the china crap outright. Then a thought occurred to me....What if I replaced the MII spindles with custom spindle and hubs? The biggest gripe I have with the mustang 2 is the spindle. It messes with offset, and forces me to use an 1-1/2" spacer. The truck will never be raced. Its going to be a cruiser that might one day get autocrossed by an old guy who cant drive. Its going to have an easy life.
I dont have the budget for all out race components. But I dont want to put cheap junk on either. So, Im asking you all who know suspensions, and have done this...is it worth the trouble to make spindles with hubs, or should I just suck it up and use the MII stuff?Picture folder for Isaacs truck
