explain the cost and the pros and cons of each... Still undecided what i want to do for sure on my 1994 ranger xlt.
 
what do you plan on using your truck for? is it 4x2 or 4x4? lifted to fit bigger tires or slammed to the ground. personely i am not into the low rider scene but there are a few i like like 95layinbodys truck you can check out his truck here for a good example of the lowered side.
 
ya, i always thought that way too metalmacguyver, but one night i woke up with this idea.... A 98 4x4 ranger with a 5.0 and an awd Transfercase from an exploder, slam it, and go chase down a honda or too...hmm.. Anyways, there are to many pros and cons to just list them for ya man. Its all about what you want to do with you truck?

the only problem with the ttb in a full time app. is the small roller bearing that supports the stub shaft,its light duty at best and would probably die fast at higher speeds for extended periods.

Exactly.

my version of this however would likely have a jacked diesel motor that would have so much rediculous power that AWD would be the only way to keep it driveable.

one of my friends has a 04 ish chevy, 2500 duramax diesel, EFI live (beta tester) built Alison tranny, 7000lbs ish, and it runs under 13.1 second Quarters. *insert evil laugh here* i love 2 strokes :D

You do realize that the Duramax diesel is a 4-stroke/cycle engine, right?
 
awe, i just got it haha...hmm, two stroke diesels just make a lot of noise and smoke
