Dana 50 ifs from F250

with a cut and turn you can gain alot of GC

You also gain ride height, which was the complaint against a SAS earlier.

stock brackets....cut and turn and end up at 2 in over stock

i wish i still had my pics from that hard drive....i built a 6'' lift d50ttb cut and turn on an f250 that used the stock height brackets(and longer d44 arms)that had more clearance under the pumpkin than you usually get under the beam.
it looked(and rode)like a prerunner.had to use a cv in the center joint to get the angle needed for the axle,though.

i think to explain u should rebuild another one when your done with gt-12 and the ranger lol

and the shorty explorer,and the hot rod boat,and whatever else i forgot about.

by the way-on that one i still used the leaf springs.had to build wedge shaped spring pads to get them to sit properly.

I guess you have done all of these because you seem to know for sure....

Maybe were comparing apples to oranges here....I can tell you that I can lower the front of my ranger roughly 6 more inches before the center comes close to the cross member... But I wouldn't have any up travel at all and the tires would be at the hood. I don't think pumpkin to cross member is the limiting factor in more peoples minds, as it was not in mine because its been modded as you said....But I guess some people would rather build a TTB whatever than modify the cross member. I went the latter route, moved the front end forward about 4, mostly to improve approach angle, and modified the cross member.
So instead of spending money I dont have on an weaker setup, I went bigger and moved stuff around a little.

Either way..... You can have your TTB and ill take a d60 and be done with it...

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with a SAS either. I've had them before, and will again. For now that I wanna do something different.

I think in a few years I'm going to build a Ranger, and install the beefed TTB in it.....If I keep the fullsize bronco I'll SAS it when I pull the D50/60/44 TTB.

Some of the offroad parks out here are starting compititions with high speed sections and trail section. A full width ranger with stout TTB, and 9" and healty 351 on big tires would be perfect.
