Default Scotts hot rods or TCI ifs

Looking for any feedback on Scotts hotrods or TCI (total cost involved) ifs users........

I'm working on a new project (66 Rambler Classic wagon) and looking for a front suspension. I don't need a DSE, Roadster shop, or C6 type front......just a safe/reliable/good handling front end for street driving.

I've looked at AME's weld in ifs, but they will end up being $1000+ more than TCI's or Scotts by the time it's installed

I have an F-body LS1/4l60e takeout, Ford 8.8 rear and a Ridetech Tri 4 link already in my shop waiting to go in.

We have used the Ridetech arms and wilwood spindles on quite a few low budget projects with good results.

Seems like TCI or Scotts offers more than a basic MII. TCI uses there own spindle, with a ridetech coil over.

Scotts offers adjustable upper and lower arms, coilovers and a splined sway bar. There crossmember is made to my frame rail width and track width.

Our new Revo IFS may be another viable option for you if you. I am unsure of the rail width or if you are planning on modifying your existing rails on the Rambler but we do offer it in a universal crossmember only that may work. Track width with standard brakes is 57.75" and is a great alternative stepping away from the traditional Mustang II crossmembers without going to something as aggressive as our Fast Track IFS. You can find more general info here, http://roadstershop.com/suspension/r...s-crossmember/
