Nice man, I'd like to ride in a lowered IRS car to see the difference, my car doesn't ride bad at all so I'd be interested to see how much nicer the IRS is. and thats a lot of exhaust systems lol.

'01 is 31 spline.

28 spline is pretty tough for a stockish car. I guess the angle of the half shafts makes for a lot more stress?

Once you add a sticky tire 28 spline can break pretty easily. Even the stock 31 spline IRS break because of the wheel hop.

Are the hangers different though? Im using my tailpiipe hangers to support the middle of my midpipe since the original hangers broke and was causing the mid to scrape on 4x4 mode. I just need the rubber parts so it might work.

let me know.

thanks

I've been wanting to do the swap for a while since I want new gears anyway. :hammer:

I don't really want to do a trade since I'm pretty bad with the scheduling thing and getting the project done in a timely manner, so I think I'm just going to buy a set up, and then sell my old one when I have it all said and done. Anything you would suggest checking up on before buying one?

Hey Dave, I'll trade you my solid axle with 4.10's for your IRS?! :crazy2:



I've been seriously considering this move for awhile now. Donors are hard to come by though.
been there, done that.

get an 03/04 IRS, and have all of your parts before you start.
