Hello everyone , Im in the market for a ifs . So far I really like the No Limit wide ride. I would like to hear from you about your experience with this kit. Please chime in and give me your feedback , thanks in advance.

 

I would like to know too. I am all ready to pull the trigger on thier stuff this summer, everything they do is very impressive.

 

Hey Guys,
We have the No Limit "Wide Ride" in our 1950 F1. How it compares to
other Mustang II kits I can't say but versus the sloppy stock front straight axle I had on there - big difference. No more wandering around the road with scary brakes. Was it worth the price? I think I paid around $3K with all new brake lines & master cylinder. Hmmm... Some Thoughts..

o Modern Stopping Power - I just couldn't see driving around Austin TX with a million plus folks without the best brakes possible. (I wouldn't want to drive down I95 in Ft. Lauderdale with stock drum brakes - yikes). 12 inch camaro brakes on the No Limit.

o Does it drive as smooth as glass like my other cars? No it doesn't. It's still a truck & you feel it but you can stay in your lane.

o Now that the whole project is close to completion - For what I paid for the No Limit plus installation labor ($5K) - it would have been smarter to pay $8K for a new TCI Frame with the Mustang II IFS, the 4 Bar IRS, & 4 wheel disc brakes, etc.

I recently saw this thread on front ends here & the kit Sam installed approx. $1400 delivered - Is the No Limit Wide Ride worth an extra grand or more?

The No Limit guys also hose you when it comes time to hook your power steering up - the high pressure hoses aren't included in the kit & they won't tell you the end sizes because they want you to buy it from them instead of having it made locally - stupid & unfriendly. I like the end product but I can't give them a ringing endorsement. I'd probably get the cheaper version Sam ordered or go more expensive & get the TCI full replacement chassis.

Hey Guys,
I re-read my reply & it sounded kind of negative. In the context of a full frame up restore it would have been smarter for me to start with a brand spanking new frame with all the goodies. I don't know what you guys are planning - If you aren't pulling your front clip & engine for any other reason than the installation of a new IFS. Hmmm I'd seriously debate repairing that stock front axle with all new bushings, king pins, etc. & some sort of disc brake kit. The Wide Ride installation is major surgery on your frame & you will be down for months if not longer.

If you already have your engine out & fenders off - Might be time for a new Mustang II IFS.

Good luck over there!

Ben I really appreciate your feedback and suggestions . Im thinking about those options you mentioned.

 

Hey Heavy,
I recall seeing a good no limit thread a while back - found it below. I don't want to be your (1) source of info - Look at Snook's build, SVTF100, & another Austin guy Rzns60 - They all have No Limit IFS.

This is my first project and junkyards the only way I can get here done. what wiring harness would you recommend .thanks Ben Austin rocks!

 

I think I'm going to order it tomorrow. So far I like all the reviews I read and threads of other fte members.

 

Hey Heavy,
It's a good decision - you'll like the product.
Be sure to change your master cylinder to account for having disc brakes
up front. Also one oddity their instructions have you mount the coilovers upside down - supposedly for better performance - I've seen it with other suppliers as well though it still seems strange.

Take pics - I'd like to see your progress.

Thanks for the heads up Ben , my truck is getting dropped off at my builders in 2 weeks or so . It's going to be a complete frame off resto , watch for the build thread.

 

Hey Heavy,
That's so weird - I was just going to ask if you ordered the
kit. Good luck over there. You might want to PM RZNS60 (Kelly) - He just did his this summer - might have a few extra tips for you. It's always a little scary to cut into your frame. Plan your Steering column path when you put the No Limit in there - It's tight on the driver's side. I also was tight up in the front with the space from the radiator to the motor - think that one through. I had to use a very thin fan to make mine work - If I ad it to do over I would have mounted the no limit a bit further back toward the firewall.

I called to order but they said that the a arms are on back order for 2 weeks. They said they can ship the kit without the arms for now and in 2 weeks when they receive them they will ship out. I rather wait for the whole kit to ship out complete.
