In that specific picture you are absolutely correct. However this is the only photo I have that shows the two setups side-by-side so someone can really get a feel for all the parts that make up a complete IRS. Please feel free to rip the IRS out of your '01 and then get a similarly equipped 8.8 and set them side by side for a better set of comparison pics.spyne said:U.M., I don't think you are comparing apples to apples in this photo. The 8.8 in the pic shown doesn't have brakes, shocks or upper and lower control arms, all of which are on the IRS piece. That's not to say that the solid axle isn't lighter, it is, I just don't think this picture gives an accurate representation of the differences.
