Which do you prefer and why? Dodge versus Chevrolet. Jeep versus Toyota. The straight axle is bulletproof but the independent is the choice in late models. What are you running and what is you're likes and dislikes? Please feel free to post pictures of your setup

pretty simple to me, if you want sports car like handleing and ride quality, the IFS is for you.

for flexibility, 4 wheeling prowess and strength go with the best, LOL.  
Just going Putt Putt 03 Rubi HD 2.5" competition rancho lift, Nth degree HD adjustable front track bar, Nth oil pan skid, Nth front and rear sliders, Nth stinger, rubicon express front upper control arms, 4:88's and 34x12.5-16 TrXus M/T's.
