Hey all, I’m just curious, has anyone ever done a front clip swap from a newer truck. It seems like it would give numerous benefits, in particular, coil springs (tighter turning radius) and improved steering (easier power steering). I feel certain someone else has at least thought of this. What are your thoughts?
Thanks,
Dan

Oh, and I am thinking 4x4 trucks in particular..?

Many have done IFS front swaps. Use the search function.

Ya, that's what it says in his second post "in particular", but not exclusively.dodgeboykim wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 12:50 pmPwrWgnDrvr wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 9:58 amMany have done IFS front swaps. Use the search function.

Re: Front Clip Swap
OK - exclusively 4x4. I did do a search but really didn’t find much on 4WD. There is plenty on IFS but I have no interest in that.
