I never thought I would see the day that someone sells a Mustang III IFS kit for trucks. I guess there is a time and place for everything.

Air Harley,
Ya know what's really mind boggling to me is people will actually buy this stuff. . . . Check out their chosen nominclature "Weed Eater" Street Rods, isn't weed eating an "Off Road" term for a wreck by running off the course? ? ? ?

FWIW the only B-J I'm familiar with that presses into "A" -Frames are GMs. I made a good living replacing GM Ball Joints, believe it or not they support the load backwards and I believe that's why they're so prone to early demise. . . .

Dippy- Volare- Aspen upgraded Rack & Pinion?

FORD type design, "Complete & ULTIMATE" rear suspension system?

GIVE ME A BREAK HERE!!!!. . . . . I say, Give Me A Break. I guess somebody will buy anything and PT Barnum was correct, huh? Unbelievable truly unvelievable. It's like chasing mirages and I'm not referring to those wierd French Fighter jets either.

Pete, the FOX chassis use press in a-arm lower ball joints. From the looks of the pic, they might be using some later model FOX chassis parts. In absolute agreement though, a little wimpy for truck duty.

Several companies have had MII IFS kits for a while. I even considered buying one until I did a little research. They will not stand up to the weight of these trucks. I wouldn't want my front suspension coming apart or breaking apart while I'm going down the road. I finally decided to have my '63 straight axle dropped 3 inches and stick a disc kit on it.

Bobby these guys claim it's an M-III not an M-II, but I still agree it's not something I will be using any time soon. I made the same remarks on another site and some of them think light wieght "A" Frames, GM Calipers, & Ball Joint design is okay with them.
To each his own I guess, huh?

The thought of companies selling stuff like this scares me in reality. You never know who is going to install one for purposes other then a trailer queen show truck. To see one being used for a day to day driver is a major accident waiting to happen. I wish these companies would be liable for any damages caused by a failure of their advertisement.

A lot of this stuff is sold on ebay...where there's no DOT regs, no guarantees, no nothing.

It's Caveat Emptor all the way.

A little off topic...but a fellow I know bought a pair of those fancy clear taillights..driving home from Vegas...he stopped for a burger...and noticed the outer lenses had melted from the heat of the bulbs.

$400.00 wasted.
