Tacomas are the only ones I believe that have limited slip front and eletronic locking rear.

 

I forgot to add that if you add a front locker, be careful about getting heavy on the gas with it locked and the wheels turned. IFS does not handle that well.

 

What is the benefir of IFS ober straight axle? The ride and what?

 

Mostly the ride, articulation, and clearance height. I still prefer a straight axle though for the strength, and lower lift costs.

 

For my half ton, I'm happy with IFS, but on my 3/4 or Duramax if I ever get one, I want a solid axle with manual hubs. I don't want that electric **** snaping under serious loads.

 

The only straight axle I ever had was a jeep and that thing bobbed left and right down the road. Is that normal for straight axles?

 

No, that is a jeep thing. Especially if any lift is involved. The track bars were usually removed and never replaced so they tended to wander. Just try it at over 100 and you really get worried. It wasn't on purpose, but the speedometer was way off.

 

IFS are more for smoother rides. Straight axles tend to get a lil bumpy. Thats unless you go wit a coil over system in the front. That helps a liittle with the ride. I want to switch my front diff to a straight axel, but im in no hurry. The frontdana 60's are like gold over here in cali. U wont find one under $1000 that is ready to install. Im just waiting for a good deal.

 

I agree with everyone here. Straight axles are stonger, easier to modify and maintain, but make trucks ride and handle like sh*t. Its great for a project but I wouldn't to it on an everyday driver.

Speaking of IFS, I wonder what a lifted Expedition with the IRS and IFS would be like? It would prob cost a ton of cash to lift it but I wonder if it gets tilt or sway happy.
