I think that TTB is the best between both worlds. The strength of a solid axle, the flex of IFS and not to mention insane turning radius due to the open knuckle. I out turn my buddies short wheel base samuri even with a mini spool in my 8.8. My TTB is not working right but 4x4junkie gave me hope. Man that truck works great. may be comon knowledge but spicer worked with ford on the TTB.

I'm running the truck as I bought it in the front. The guy who built it used some heavy coils and original raduis arms, thats going change over the winter.

my custom deaver coils and btf uniball uppers did...about 10" of travel(00 ranger)
How much did all that flex cost? And a stock ttb with the sway bar disconnected and worn RA bushings will flex more then that.
Which is why independent suspension is for cars, not trucks (unless you have tons of cash to pour into high travel desert racing suspensions).
