OER Authorized Bolt-In IFS Conversion Kits

OER Authorized bolt-in IFS conversion kits are available for 1947-54 GM pickups with a V8 engine. The kits will improve your vehicle's ride, handling, and performance. These steel crossmember kits convert your antiquated stock front suspension and steering box to a more modern 1974-78 Mustang II or 1974-80 Pinto/Bobcat setup. Enjoy better handling with the addition of rack and pinion steering and twice the suspension travel when compared to stock.

Combine this advancement in steering and suspension with the added benefit of modern braking power, and this setup becomes a no-brainer. The bolt-in kit is designed for use on 1947-54 Chevy 1/2 ton or light-duty 3/4 ton frames, and will drop the ride height approximately 2 1/2 to 3 in. using stock Mustang II front spindles. Lower control arm pivot tubes and gussets are not included in this kit. (A weld-in crossmember it is also available, if preferred.)
