Most people dont run 33s on a sas because they can run a much bigger tire so they do.

Why wouold you want to go through the trouble of a sas, but run a tire that a D35 can handle all day long?

Because a straight axle will kick the shit out of this TTB garbage all day long. That's why

35's work real well on a FW SAS. That being said...I will be going to 37's or 38's once I wear these out. 33's would work for now, but are kinda small to really enjoy the whole FW SAS capabilities.

And it's comments like that is why we're going to assume you're a moron. The only advantage that a solid axle has over a TTB suspension is that it is so primitive it takes little intelligence and creativity to optimize.

Well good luck with that. There aren't that many FW SAS BII's out there and there are even fewer on 33"s. If they are available then run them, or sell them and get something bigger.

D'cheat's will be on 43"s

Ruth is on 42"s IIRC.


Todd's is on Rockwells on 44"s

Here is Todd's back when it was on 37"s.

Damn! For a thread that I thought would get flamed from everyone on TRS after the TTB comment....it ended up with some pics of great rigs!

Cant mention the following 4 items on TRS without getting flamed...
1) Removing Cats
2) CAI's
3) TTB being crap
4) Beadlocks

Off road TOTM comes with special privileges.My B2 works good for exploring and daily transportation.A lot of guys like running over big rocks the big solid axle really does good.If I had full widths here I would know every CHP by there first name.No real crime in my town so they tend to get real thorough.

Hmm yeah all 18 posts of wisdom you have.


If you want to do a SAS go bigger (35's or 37's) or face the fact that you should stick with a TTB.

But you probably heard a few people who didn't know what they were doing and were misinformed on how capable the TTB can be.

Just because I'm new to this forum doesn't mean I'm new to building a capable offroader. I know there's nothing wrong woth the ttb but its not what I want.
What was the original subject on this thread?
