Chassis Building Part 4: IFS from Scott's Hot Rods and Customs

The front suspension of the C10 required quite a bit less fabrication on our part. We used a Scott's Hot Rods IFS (http://www.scottshotrods.com/) as a base and then re-worked the upper arms for increased travel. The backbone of Scott's IFS is this custom crossmember:

This particular IFS is setup for coilovers. Ours would use Slam Specialties RE-7 airbags (http://www.slamspecialties.com/) for adjustability.

The IFS is built in a jig to ensure the track width is perfect.


Scott's doesn't just build suspensions:



In fact, the shop specializes in sheetmetal fabrication and has built many award-winning rides from scratch.













Now back to the garage!
