Why is Scott’s Hotrods Different?  

Our Independent Front Suspension is NOT a Mustang II Kit.  It never was based off a Mustang II Suspension.  Scott’s Hotrods ‘n Customs IFS Kits are True Independent  Front Suspension Kits featuring Tubular Upper & Lower A-Arms designed specifically for each and every vehicle.  We do not use a 3-piece style crossmember with spring pocket hats. We do not use T-Bolt slider adjusters that CAN come loose.  We only use Coilovers or Airbags with external shock.  Our Suspension can be dialed in precisely and can never be knocked out of alignment.  We 100% TIG Weld our kits.  We only use 5/8″ or Larger Grade 8 Hardware.

Check out our IFS QC Gallery to view a wide variety of IFS Kits we recently shipped out. 

Like all Scott’s standard IFS systems, each unit is built to spec, individually for each customer.  This allows us to “fine-tune” the suspension.  For those looking to have a tight handling coilover suspension, we can set it up to be fully tunable and adjustable to get that track handling on the weekends, and a comfortable ride for everyday use.  If laying low is your style, we can set you up to run up to a 31” tall tire and still lay frame, while maintaining superior drivability over our competitors.  A Scott’s ‘63-‘87 bolt-on SuperSlam IFS gets nearly 11” of total travel! There is no other 100% bolt-on suspension or dropped crossmember for these trucks.  Scott’s is the only true bolt-on that will get you installed and driving in a weekend.  Bolt-On Kits are also available for ’48-’52 Ford Trucks and ’48-’54 & ‘55-’59 Chevy Trucks.

Scott's Hotrods BOLT-ON IFS Quote Form

Unlike a few other bolt-in units, the Chevy/GMC’s does not have any pre-existing bolt holes to line up the Scott’s Hotrods crossmembers.  Because of that, holes will need to be drilled in to your existing frame as well as rack notches may or may not be needed based on ride height.

A qualified professional mechanic or fabricator with the technical understanding of product function and installation procedures must install all Scott’s Hotrods products. Be sure to properly bleed your power rack

Scott’s Independent Front Suspension (IFS)

Scott’s Hotrods believes in Quality, Creativity, Engineering & Workmanship.  These qualities go into all of its suspension kits.  Scott’s does not settle for inferior materials or products and neither should you when it comes to the suspension on your custom hot rod.  No matter how pretty your paint sparkles, how plush your seats feel or how much power you say you have under the hood, if your vehicle handles and rides poorly, nothing else matters.

Scott’s Hotrods manufactures the BEST Independent Front Suspension (IFS) for ANY Year, Make & Model vehicle from 1925 to 1987.  No other suspension manufacturer comes close.  Scott’s IFS kits have never been and will never be Mustang II Kits.  Scott’s True IFS kits are not universal and are designed for each and every vehicle application.  Although many kits appear very similar, all the dimensions and geometry are engineered to work for specific applications.

All of the IFS kits are built from scratch materials in Knoxville, Tennessee.  Metal is sourced from trusted, quality sources and delivered weekly.  Scott’s in-house CNC Mills and Lathes cut many of the components used on each and every kit including the Cross Tubes, Ball Joint Cups, Rack & Shock Bungs, Stainless Steel Adjustable Upper A-Arm Rod Ends and A-Arm Tubes.  The in-house HD Plasma table cuts all of the tabs.  Every IFS kit is 100% TIG-welded and Quality Checked before it is packed up and shipped out to the customer.

Scott’s stands behind ALL of the parts it manufactures. Other parts that Scott’s does not manufacture such as brakes, steering racks, ball joints, brake flex lines, power steering lines, bearings, seals, etc carry their own manufacturer’s warranties.
