A solid axle is stronger then IFS. Not to say you cannot moderately wheel IFS, but solid axles are stronger than IFS. Guys aren't switching from IFS to a solid axle to loose strength.

The only major issue I have had with the truck is the 4wd selector. It has the push button setup and 4hi wont work 4lo works fine. Weve narrowed it down to either the switch or the TCCM but cant diagnose because I have a communication error with the obd2 port and I do t want to just throw parts at it.
Sorry for the slight derail but if you have comm issues have you checked for power at pin 16 and ground on pin 4? More often than not on GM's i've found the power is shared with the cigar lighter and the fuse is blown. Change the fuse and you restore power to pin 16 and therefore regain network communication.
On the original topic. Ive never had to replace a front axle on a GM ever and that includes plow trucks in Ottawa, Canada. I've been wrenching professionally for a little over 15 years. The vast majority of people will never push their trucks to the limit that would necessitate a bigger better front end. The type of abuse that destroys a front axle would also likely kill your steering components.
I have not checked that but I will. Thank you!
