IFS Package

HI , I was wondering what if anybody thinks of the IFS package from Zigs? It looks like a good deal to me. Also anybody who has installed a power brake systom such as the one they offfer how well did it work or did you also have to install a electric vacuum pump? Thanks, for any info. Bob

Thumbs down IFS Package

Have not heard many (or any) good things about Zigs. Read this:

If it were me, I would order directly from the manufacturer (TCI, for example). That way you are sure to get the latest version, and better support.

Just my .02

I bought the Zig's complete front, rear and brake plumbing kit at I'm only 2 brake connections away from having it all in. I can't say enough about how easy the kit went in to my '55 F-100 and how pleased I am.

IFS Package

I did the Dakota crossmember from Industrial Chassis Inc. I liked the product and customer support, but they could have forwarned me about other snafu's such as: needing a dual sump oil pan, block hugger headers, a new starter, etc. Overall we gave it good marks.

I did a lot if checking before buying mine, including several rod building shops around town. They all picked Heidts & after getting it I have to say I could not have found any thing better. It installed very easy, am not on the road yet but was really impressed with the product as far as installing.
