I haven't heard that, as the 2005 Super Duty's and Dodge 2500's are still SFA, and they just redesigned the front end of the Fords with a 5-link coil suspension so I'd be suprised if they convert over to IFS. If you have a link to that I'd be interested. But you're talking about a vehicle designed for tow. The majority of the stress is placed on the rear end components. But for the Chevy 3/4 and 1 ton IFS trucks, it is a much beefier system then what you'll see on the front end of the 1/4 ton. I'm a bit dissappointed that Jeep has gone to IFS on the new Grand Cherokee, leaving the Wrangler as the only front and rear live axle in the line up. Solid axles will still out last an independent suspension when put to the test, not to mention they are easier to maintain, lift, repair, and better off road performance. Independent suspension's only benefit is improved handling, and perhaps a better ride.
