Hi Bob,
Think that was a response from Mark Self a while back :
    I purchased a video from "No Limit Engineering"  (www.nolimit.net).
This was a video on installing an IFS front end on an Advance Design truck.
The video (T-140 $34.95) shows the IFS installation, but as a free bonus
they show how to take the front frame shackel mount and move it to the rear.
It looks like it lowers the rear by about 2"-3".  The existing rear shackle
mount mounts below the frame while the front shackle mount mounts through
the frame.  The rear crossmembr needs to be moved, but tht looks relatively
simple.
