Jag ifs question

Hey y'all new to the forum I have 52 f1 that I'm building. I've seen tons of comments about the jag IFS but I can't seem to find the threads I keep hearing about with instructions. I'm looking to soft mount it and I'm not sure of the year that I should be using on the Jag as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Go to my build thread here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...lt-thread.html I did a soft mount and Jag Ifs came out of a 1980 XJ6 Series II Jag.

I used a 79 Jag XJ12 IFS and IRS in my 51 F1.
Hardest part is making front brackets for the soft mount and ensuring that the IFS is square in the chassis.
Make sure you use the slip joint from the Jag IFS.
Here are some photos.
Good luck
Dan

David,
You will need to fabricate the front mounts and the upper shock mounts, To my knowledge no one sells them. A couple of hints: With the truck assembled and weight on all 4 wheels place a level fore and aft on the top of the Jag crossmember, it should be level. In my case with the rear soft mount in place (wheelbase with the jag in place the same as original) you can place a 3/4" wood block between the top surface of the forward Jag mount and the bottom of the frame rail. This spacing will change slightly dependent on your rear ride height.
