Apparently you guys aren't familiar with the aerial acrobatics of Sean (flying high) DeVinney?



Or the Track kick antics of Mike Hagen.  Either IFS or Solid axle you must be prepared.  I believe experience is the best teacher, and DeVinney & Hagen have a laundry list of broken part experience...

those arms have some beef to them, even the brackets that they hook to it like 1/4in plate.

From what I understand, the weak point is the upper strut mounts, bending in from the forces.

In stock form the bump stops hit before the strut bottoms.  I guess the mount is bending from the shok load of the strut dampening force ???...  Looks like a good excuse for progressive air bump stops...

In OZ the widetrack/Sport versions have a strut brace as standard that can be made to fit the standard kick. Particularly beneficial if jumping or doing sand work.

The trailing arms are not even a worry. The strut towers need a brace and then some nice bump stops.  ;)

As far as which is better I prefer IFS but Ive seen Sean do some sick jumping in a straight axle Sami too.
