I'm looking for a project this summer and would really like to modify the front and rear suspensions of a liquifire. I know the IFS was revealed, but can not seem to find details on it. I also remember talk about someone who developed an "A" frame type front suspension - would love to see or hear about that. Also looking to improve travel and ridability of the rear suspension - so if you have any info I would love to see or hear it.

Joe,
Check out Horicon Joe's topic, he posted some more detailed photos of that sled, and it turns out it was a trailing arm front end, not an A-arm like we originally thought: http://www.jdsleds.com/community/viewto ... =1&t=13105
