Anyone ever put a IFS Total Chaos suspension on their Xterra? Advantages/Disadvantages...

Search for posts using the "search" tool in the upper right, editor X has their set up he will be the one to ask. There have been a few threads about it.

Yeah I'm running with it. What would you like to know?

I don't know if you're lurking Mocca, but here's a short list of the advantages and disadvantages of the system.

Advantages:
Long travel system. More travel means you can achieve greater speeds offroad while still maintaining comfort and control. It also gives you more front end flex. The long travel will give you some of the advantages of SAS while keeping all of the advantages of IFS.
Coil over conversion. I've never been a huge fan of torsion bars. Some will disagree, but I like coil over shocks better. Depending on the shocks and coils you get, you can totally customize your ride.
Uniballs vs. ball joints. Again some may disagree, but if they are strong enough for trophy trucks and the baja 1000 they are good enough for my X. They also allow for greater angles when cycling the suspension without wear.
Did I mention speed yet? Nothing is more fun the 5th gear in the dirt IMO. Top range of 3rd isn't so bad either.

Edit to add:
Handling. It's much better. The combination of the TC front/shocks/coils and the Deaver rear makes it feel better on road than it ever did stock. I'm not running any sway bars either, front or rear. The turning radius is much tighter too.

Disadvantages:
Cost. It's not a cheap system, but then again nothing in life is when you do it right.
It's not a complete system. You will still have to do something with the rear. I got Deaver springs to finish it out and compliment the front.
You will need new fenders too since the front track is 6 inches wider than stock.
CV joint concerns. I have yet to blow one, but I am being cautious. No sharp turns at full droop in 4wd etc. TC is goinng to build a diff drop kit in the near future to help, but like I said no problems yet.

That's the short version. If you like speed this is a good way to go. You will still be able to crawl much better than a standard lift but not as well as a SAS'd rig. Then again, an SAS'd rig can't keep up with me on most terrain. It's a trade off and all depends on what you want to do with your truck. Form befitting funcion and all that. The X still drives great on the street. Way better than before actually. Offroad is beyond expectations. If you want specifics on anything let me know.
