Although its not the bigger dana 60 the hardcore wheelers advocate its still WAY better and stronger than the IFS.
Didn't want to do a solid front axle. It would have been cheaper and not much more work but this is a street truck. It might see mud and goat paths from time to time but it is NEVER going to be flexing beyond reason.

No really good wheeling spots here. I can play in a swamp that is on a friend's property though. Other than that there are a few trails with some deep mud. It's not really being built as a trail rig. I've just always wanted a big lifted truck, fast car and a street bike. Figured I'd start with the big truck, afterwards I'll be putting my supercharger on my car until it grenades, and hopefully before that happens I get a bike.
