Happy IDI'er
Ok well I would think that alot of people on this site would understand about building a ttb stronger. Many of you are saying "You are wasting your time", "you are beating a dead horse", "d60 is the way to go and alot better".... Hey guess what, all powerstrokes, duramaxs, and cummins are more powerful and have more torque and get more done faster than any of our stock engines do? So why dont the people that think a d60 or solid axle is the only way to go because it is more robust just go buy a different truck with a "stronger" engine?????? Maybe because you like what you have but you just want to improve on it? Maybe you want to take what most people consider "junk" or "a waste of time" and show them its not bad and educate them? Well I indeed like IFS and I want to improve on it. Im not putting big tires on or lifting the truck. I am going to plow snow with it and I am building an engine and have some ideas that might make more power than stock and I just want it strong... Whats wrong with that? I want ideas on how to make the TTB stronger and I do not want to hear about swapping solid axles in! Thanks for the people that are helping me.
Your TTB will do what you are asking of it with no problem as I have outlined earlier. You need to find a good spring shop to make you new leaf packs which will put the front end 1-2" higher. This will keep it from hitting the bump stops and actually give you a better ride. Rebuild with quality Spicer parts and put some Bilstein shocks all the way around. You will be good for the next 10 years.
