all IFS lifts are problems. I have seen a couple of the 10" lift trucks around but never used for anything. What are your plans? Most good kits can make the parts stronger with replacements.

i was looking at that cognito 10-12" lift. i just don't think ill be happy with 6" on 35s. i cant find another company that makes a 10" lift at all and pray that its reasonable priced.

go on cardomain and see what people have and run and you can decide what you want as far as looks.

use the axles out of a 99+ f350 and straight axle it! cheaper for the lift kits and wont have to work about all the issues! go on chuckstrucks and you will see a few where some guys did the swap!

other than maybe the axles themselves, Its gonna end up being cheaper and more reliable than an IFS lift that tall.
