What have you done to it? or is it still standard? you could change the shocks, i think comador shocks are easy to do and cheap. if you want lots of flex or travel in the front you could find a solid axel surf and swap over the chasie to give to a solid front, which has many options

Hi there, regarding your search for more travel in an IFS surf. Apart from winding up the torsion bars there is no other way. I must say that my surf used to get stuck on the most easiest tracks because of the lack of suspension travel. So I welded up the front diff, MAN did that make a wicked difference. Just makes it a little hard to go round sharp corners (3 piont turn required). But the pro's far outweigh the con's. cheers Jinx

you cant do a lot to the IFS without doing something radical!

These will give you back your std downward suspension travel otherwise to keep ifs and have it work you are looking at something like this.

Not cheap and you still have to get it certified. Otherwise as suggested removing the IFS and putting a solid axle in its place is a stronger soloution.

De-Ranged's post's show a couple of documented projects one his but his is quite extreme.
