To be honest, I never liked the Jag design, where the axel serves as the upper control arm. Break a U-Joint, and it's gonna be ugly.

It seems to me from a foggy memory that Ford made a good IRS for an SUV that was about the right width. Maybe an Explorer? Not sure about how much Hp it could handle. My little 4 cylinder turbo SUV make about 280 Hp. I think the ecoboost V6 is about 400 Hp. There should be something available.

By the way, it isn't Hp that breaks things, it's how much Hp you can hook to the ground. Tires are important too.
