hardest part is cutting the old stuff off......I built the truck in a weekend from stock to kinda what it is now....but it took a couple months to accumulate the parts.You can do the swap for less than 500.00 if you are creative....good luck finding a 85 pre truck cheap as they are a hot commodity now.

the IFS is not bad at all for mud.....they will hold up with 35's if you dont put a locker in it.......I took mine in some pretty tough trails with a just a rear LS when it was IFS....they also have upgraded shafts and lockers for them that guys run on the IFS.

search around yotatech.com and you will get some ideas

I run 35's most of the time so it will fit in the garage...but have 39's for it too

stock IFS on 33's


on 37's after the swap


and IFS cant articulate
