foolin around "flexing"

[tjdeerslayer37]

me and my buddy went and were messing around town trying to flex lol. my core support is so shot you can see from my bumper lol. oh well, heres some pics.

the 250 is on bald 36" tsl's. mine has 33" almost bald toyo muds and 32" goodyear something or others on the front. you can see we both need to get ourselves some straight axles.

mmmm I want a bigger truck but it looks like the 250 is flexing more at the frame than the suspension

[tjdeerslayer37]

all the body mounts on the 250 are good, its the frame flex. lol. thats why i said trying to flex. and mine the only body mounts that are bad are the ones on the core support. the others are new.

they make leaf spring TTBs?

they make leaf spring TTBs?

from the tech library:

"The Dana 44 TTB was a variation of the reverse cut solid axle Dana 44 used by Ford. It appeared in the F-150's and Bronco's with coil springs and in the F-250 as a heavy duty version with leaf springs. In 1987 the F-250 version was replaced with a Dana 50 TTB.

The medium version was the Dana 44HD TTB used on light duty (under 8500# GVW) F250s. This system uses leaf springs for both suspension and locating the axle housings (i.e., there are no radius arms w/ the leaf springs). The medium version uses the same Dana 44 model differential. The axle housings for the Dana 44HD TTB are made of slightly heavier gauge steel and they are shorter and bigger than the light duty system. Because of the difference in length between the light-duty system and the heavy duty systems, the pivot brackets are designed differently and attach to the front crossmember in different locations. The 44HD system uses bigger steering knuckles, spindles, bearings, and hubs (8-lug) than the light duty version, and they cannot be interchanged. The only component interchangeable between the 44 and 44HD are the locking hub mechanisms.

The heaviest version of the TTB system was the Dana 50 TTB used on F250HD (over 8500# GVW) trucks and '80-'85 F350s. This system uses a Dana 50 model differential w/ 9" ring gear. The same axle housings are used for both the Dana 44HD and Dana 50 TTB systems, so the only difference between them (out to the spindles) is the differential. There were actually two different versions of the Dana 50 TTB. The lighter Dana 50 TTB used the same components as the Dana 44HD TTB on F250HDs from 1980 to 1983 or so. The heavier version used somewhat bigger axle shafts, u-joints, spindles, bearings, hubs, and hub lockouts on F350s and later model F250HDs."
