The Ford TTB is a good compromise between solid axle strength and ground clearance of a IFS,the worst thing Ford ever did was get rid of it.But when lifted there are major problems that can not be fixed,wheel camber is one and the passenger side axle is the super weak link since it will be operating way out of it's "safe" angle range.Great sutup if not lifting,junk if you lift it unless you like replace u-joints very often and front tires even more often.

Not to mention being a pita to put a lift on. I helped a guy in our club put a 8" Superlift (might've been 10" ...too big imo) on an Exploder a few weeks ago. He's already got problems with the front passenger axle. Suposedly, he's swapping in some manual hubs and thinks that'll solve the problem but I doubt it.

I'm moving in two months. :twisted: meh, it wasn't that bad and his dad is the parts mgr at the local Jeep dealership so I get at least 10% off of everything I get through them, now. :D
