If you haven't committed the "plastic" yet, call FatMan Fabrications and get some more input. I used their IFS as it was designed around the 42-47 frame, not adjusted from another kit width. Their guys are similarly well versed. The more info you get, the better your decisions and end product will be.

Hi,
Is it possible to do an IFS conversion without lowering the front end a lot? I like the stance of my 47 pickup.

I didn't pay much attention at the time, but mine dropped 4-6" from looking at my original photo, and went from 14 to 15' wheels (22.5" dia tires).





Who knew ? I do like the new "rake" though... P.S. Fatman did have a 2" lower kit which I didn't buy.
