Does anyone actually wheel their trucks with the factory ifs front end? I want to do the straight axle swap but want to keep the truck street legal and we have safety inspections every two years here. In the MVI guidelines it basically says no suspension modifications are allowed but obviously it's up to the discretion of the mechanic. With the amount of custom work needed I'm concerned that it would be tough to find someone to sign off on it as it is their license and their livelihood on the line if I did a bad job and it breaks and someone gets hurt.
So, that out of the way, is ifs any good or are the ifs lifts best for street trucks? I'm pretty hard on gear, I do mostly trail runs which can mean a good bit of mud as well as rocks. Looking for at most 6" of lift and 35" tires, maybe 37s down the road. Also, can you even get lockers for the factory front diff? Looking at torsen style diffs.
