Ruth, looks like a super sick rig. Do you ever come down south towards Hammers or anything around there?

he has a stock b2, stock 2.9, stock fm145/fm146 (dont remember), and 3.45 gears.

and on the arms, when i say dana crappy i mean dana real crappy (28)

o ok, you mean when lifting the ttb, use a custom radious arm setup instead of droping the stock radious arm down??? still have to drop the ttb arms or housing down to keep geometry right though.. i hope im understanding your question:dunno:

my first setup on the ttb was stock arms with a 4in drop kit all the way around.

then i got a set of skyjacker arms, but the drivers side is bent way more than the dude said, and its causing all sorts of issues for me. plus i don't really like the tranny mount for it either.

my thoughts were to take it just like ppl do with the solid axle setup. i'll build some radius arm brackets, install them, then make the brackets for the radius arms to mount to the TTB 28/35. then add some 2" .25 dom to it. lower first then upper.

of course make sure my caster doesn't get F'ed up as well

ok... yeah i would go for it.. and my thoughts, if you made them a little longer than the stock location, do you thing it would help with leverage?? mabe flex a little better maybe idk, i know when i lifted my ttb the springs i got were hard as a rock, i was pissed but delt with it.. if you do this post up a thread in the what are you builing in the fabrication section or something, id like to see it for sure :icon_thumby:

oh yes. extended arms help ALOT with flex on this TTB's. i had rough country coils before, and they were crazy stiff. now i have skyjacker coils so its better. still wish they were softer. but for now i'll build longer arms and deal with it until i go SAS or something else
