I know the first thing people will say about it here is
THEY SUCK:flipoff:

but, hey. Its better than IFS...
But what are everyones thoughts on how capable a twin I beam rig can be on the rocks. I KNOW solid axle is ideal AND much better in ALL respects than a TTB front, but as an alternative to the soid axle that I MUST take right now, I wanted to know how well you think a TTB can perform with moderately size tires (wide 35's) on the rocks.

no one?

I think they are only better then IFS cause they are easier to replace with a solid axle! seriously not much better then IFS but really easy to swap. If you want to go fast get a 2wd ranger and get a really long TTB front setup and go get some air. If you want a rock crawler find a solid axle and bolt it in there.

thier fine, you can make Custom Radius Arms and get a lot of flex out of them (working on some now) but 35 is a MAX size these TTB can see, 35s bend I beams as it is, so keep it @ 35's and you will be happy

I agree with Mark (Wow that's a lot easier than agreeing with DRM ;))

I had a 92 Bronco with a 6 inch lift and 35" Swampers. It flexed alright and with the locker went everywhere I ever wanted it too. It rode nice on the street (Super soft with Skyjacker softride springs in it) and was able to really get it awn when you wanted it too. Sure it's cheap to convert to solid axle but you also get into changing things like the crossmembers for pumpkin clearance for a Dana 60 (Why the hell do a solid with any less??)

I say put a softride suspension on it, skid plate the hell out of the beams and GET IT!!!!

you guys have some good points, I've just spend enough time fixing broken TTB trucks that were mildly offroaded that I would never recomend anyone really pushing them

they work all right, not good but allright. plan on getting good at changing axles if you are locked on the rocks.:D not that i know any thing about this subject:rolleyes: :mad:. on the TTB44 i recomend getting the slip joint shaft off a TTB50 it will save you from a few repairs. ;)i'm going to go solid as soon as i can talk the wife into letting me blow some money. have the axle siitng in storage allready.

If the TTB's don't bend on yea, the brackets will.

And then you'll punch holes into the pumpkin, and be crying all the way back to the repair shop.
