When I decided to go IFS, I had all kinds of ideas about making it rear steer, keeping the factory height, etc.. After looking at a few builds, reflecting on the matter, I decided to keep it simple. The crossmember is actually a CPP “economy” unit. I’m not for sure what the difference is with it being the “economy” version. The welds look pretty good in my opinion. One of the hats could stand to have some touch ups, but that is about it.

Anyhow, with giving it a little lift, I won’t have to c notch the frame for the rack. I’ll still have a 2-3” drop over the factory ride height, which will add some cool factor.
