Weld-in
/ Bolt-in Frame Kits: NOVICE
to SEMI-SKILLED
The
weld-in or bolt-in kits are available in many forms. There are strip
down crossmember only kits and full blown turn key kits which have all
the components to complete your IFS project. The strip down kits offer
probably the least expensive IFS project cost. It allows the hobbyist to
obtain used parts to complete the IFS setup. When used with a bolt-in
crossmember, the savings is even greater. With no welding and going with
used parts, this type of project could be accomplished for under
$1,000....MAYBE! Cost range: $1,000 to $2,500.
Again, many of these
kits use FORD and GM components. Other kits use Corvette, Dakota and early '70's Mopar
components. These kits allow for many options such as drop spindles, larger brake rotors
and custom lug patterns".
The ride
quality is equal to that of the roll-under IFS systems and provides the
same handling. Both IFS systems allow for timely installation and easy
remounting of original sheet metal components. CTS
