front independant suspension.
Why do so many jeepers bad mouth front independent suspension? My Toyota PU sr5 had it and was fine.

Independent front suspension provides better handling on the road but does not cater to serious off road use.

Independent suspension is SEVERELY limited in articulation. It also is very difficult to lift properly. AS said before... works nice picking up the groceries. not so good climbing rocks.
|
IIRC, the HMMMV's are independent front/rear. They're a totally different animal, though. Not a good example of the typical IFS (Ranger, SR5, Liberty, etc.)

With enough money, just about any suspension can kick ass. Our jeeps have awesome suspension for a decent price.

The old adage: The more moving parts = the more that can go wrong.
Add the price premium, remove the rock capability (on a stocker) and in the end, I'll take my solid axles anyday. My JK performs great on the road. Why use only one lane when you can use both? :yup: |
Because they are weak...I just got back from a trip with a buddy of mine who took his Silverado on the easy parts of a moderate trail with me (by him insisting IFS could handle it) well we thought it did until yesterday. Turns out that little 4.5mi trip cost him +$800...and that with him doing all the work himself!!!! Most everything bent in the steering system. :naw:
