You would need a pan hard mount and pan link along with an enduro suspension link kit to mount them. I have the ifs1 with an ifs lift. Rear axle should bolt up.

I just installed a set of these on my Ecto, and I have to say it makes a huge difference with clearance when compared to the original axles. Assembly is easy, just takes a bit of time. The rear lockout is kind of weird, but I am looking at making 4w steer soon.

They'll make them a bit wider. Not sure how much, but they use the same axle housing so they'd have to.
