The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Tons 'o Fun 8 lug IFS

I was thumbing through the FATMAN catalog, saw they had an 8 lug IFS setup.

I'm going to assume that it is based on their 60" kit that uses 73-87 C10 spindles.

At $3500, it's a little pricey. But does have some cool factor.

I've been looking for something like this for a while. It does seem pricy but might be worth the money. I guess i need to do more research. Thanks for sharing this info.

C-10 did not come with 8 lugs, they must be using 3/4 ton wheels on 1/2 ton spindles.

GM/Chevy 8 lug IFS could be easily adapted.

I'll throw something else out there too.

An MII setup may be easily adapted to 8 lug also.

Most MII suspensions are now using Dodge ball joints, which were used on B series vans throughout their lifespan. The Mopar vans had similar length springs, although much more spring rate.

It may be as simple as installing a Dodge front spindle and adjusting the Kingpin angle.
