I have a Jag IRS to play with, and have been thinking about putting it under my glorified car. My truck will be able to ride fine with the straight axle if need be.

If I do it I have to widen it by about 2 inches a side, but I need my final wheels first. Not just the rollers I have.

Either rear end I have needs work. Along with a gear change to bring up to spec.

So with occasional heavy towing of 5000 pounds with a Jag IRS be a issue due to its swing axle set up. I plan to use RE6 bags, and dual shocks in the rear.

I am thinking of doing it because it is different, and I have a couple laying around.
