Help!!!!!!

I have a 55 f100 and I am looking for a chassis that is already set up with ifs and a four link rear can anyone point me in the right direction? I was pretty close to buying one from bobs in California but It looks Ike a lot of people on here don't like his work? I'm located in south Texas and just need a little help to get on the right track thanks in advance.

Hey Allen,
I have seen some good reviews on TCI - they are a bit pricey
but you get a very good chassis with IFS & a 4 link & all your brakes.

Check out No Limit Engineering in California. They sell a complete chassis and you can choose from a lot of different options.

I have one. The chassis was set up very nicely, and I'm sure that I'll love it when I get it on the road. Getting it to my house (even though I paid for "home delivery" was a nightmare as it sat at the local freight terminal for 3 weeks-"Come and get it, we won't send a truck up there.") before they sent a truck up to deliver it. TCI was no help at all in getting it delivered. Plus, the rubber on the tie rods, and ball joints will all need to be replaced as it has dry rotted within about 16 months. Besides those issues, I'd recommend one.

I am considering a TCI chassis for my 51 F-1. I visited their facility in Ontario CA a couple of months ago. I don't have much to compare it to, but I was impressed. They seem to have good quality control and make a solid product. Hope this helps!
