On Zuwharrie, Whitfield was showing some options of some lifts before he built his own and the Chevrolet IFS was one of them.

Oh, I see.  If I understand Whitfield's post correctly he was using those as an example of IFS lift kits.  It looks like the Chevrolet IFS kit pictured is for a full size truck.  This is a good example of an after market company that has built a solid lift kit for a dual A-arm IFS front suspension.  I've been looking at a lot of different lift kits for a lot of different vehicles to get ideas.

Oh ok, I was gonna say, if a company made an IFS drop specifically for the track/kick then every zuk owner would have definately heard of it by now.. ;D

There used to be one, but it's been off the market for a while now.

It was made by Pro Comp back in the 90's and the word at the time was that it was impossible to keep aligned. Based on this discussion and the parallel post on Zuwharrie I think the problem was that they did not flip the tie rods to compensate for the A arm drop.
