I can and have at various times taken both sides of this one.
How are you going to use and drive the truck? Start with an answer to that question. The rest of it will all come from that answer.
The old truck I drive most often is stock in front except for disk brakes and mag wheels. I enjoy driving it just the way it is. The one I'm currently building will be an IFS.
I know why for me each approach made good sense and its based on how I want to use the trucks.
