I've noticed the cost of roller chassis are roughly the same with straight axle set-ups or IFS. Personally, I like the look of the more modern IFS. What are the pros and cons of these front suspensions on a set of Deuce rails, the difference in ride quality, the ability to set or adjust ride height, ability to make changes to adjust for ride quality, etc?

Personally, I do not like the looks of a hiboy with IFS unless it has a pinched frame. IMO, they look clunky. With fenders it doesn't matter. I built my deuce with a pinched frame utilizing a Heidt stainless steel Superide IFS because I was going for a modern smoothie California style. As far as ride goes, I don't think it matters much. With a short wheel base, you will get a somewhat choppy ride either way. You do have more adjustability with the IFS because you can adjust the shock rebound and adjust the coilovers for ride height. I do like the rack and pinion steering. Essentially, it comes down to a matter of taste and the style of the car you want.
