How can you make IFS strong?

[kolelt]

I'm a 3rd gen owner. And I would like to know if there are particular parts that I could upgrade to make it more stronger when off-roading. Currently I have uniball UCA. But what about cv , ball join, tie rods. Are there any aftermarket that sells beefed up parts ?

Rcv axles are indestructible. But they're about $1100 each I believe. You could also get skid plates for the arms. There's also a badass boxed lower arm that's being made by a company. Ill look it up and post it when I find it.

Yea that's who it is. But they don't offer the LCA yet. And it's the same as total chaos. Long travel. Still need tundra axles

RCV's are the strongest you'll find for IFS. They are expensive, but you have to pay to play.
The FROR rig is the only IFS rig I know of on 37's that hangs w/ solid axle rigs without issue.

ooo those lcas are nice.

Lotus axles are also awesome

And an arb diff is also a stronger option.

Lotus Development makes axles for the 3rd gens too. They are $499 each I believe, so around $1,000 a set. I would say that unless you have broken a handful of the factory axles, (Carry a spare or two with you on longer technical trips) then save your money for other items to make it more capable.

The Lotus axles have thicker chromoly CV cages and are quite a bit stronger than factory as a few of us have tested out.

What about steering options?
