We beat the living **** out of a TTB ......holds up great ....rides good.....and does great..... until you get up against the axle stops.....my only complaint is suspension travel...........Don't know why you guys beat them down so much.....there's a gazillion of them working their azz off every day.

Ive broken damn near every piece of a TTB capable of being broken by mortal man with only 33" tires and an engine that made about 160-170hp on a good day. At least 75% of those breakages were under what Id call less than extreme for the combination.
Also, I rebuilt some part of a ttb axle at least once every weekend when a buddy raced an 86 F150 with a 350-400hp 302 on 33x10.5 swampers.
They do just fine on muddy dirt roads and in that sudden "oh shat" moments but they definitely are not as strong as their solid axle counterparts no matter how you compare them.

The only thing i have to add to your link is that for every bling ttb equipped vehicle there's 100 solid front axle trucks that perform better in deep mud, rocks and heavy trails.
Im all for being different but at some point you need to look around and say, a solid axle is a better platform for a serious offroad truck - dessert running, big jump trucks excluded. In all other media a solid axle works better and last longer

while i don't have as much ttb hate as most, i still think they are junk. bad design and besides being more complicated, they tear up frames from the stupid amount of leverage they have when they are really being worked hard.
kris, i'm sad to say this, but ttb's are the new hot setup for bling buggies ala k.o.h. rigs :shaking: don't ask me why, but companies are even coming out with high dollar bling axles for them and a few are trying to develop stronger bolt in centers from what i've read. it's like the damn twilight zone reading about it

It's a D44 center.......same as those solid axle swaps you guys love.....damn guys .....it's not good stock ......but with some extended radius arms.....some steering geometry work for the bump steer (most of which can be fixed with a tie rod flip)......and some more suspension travel.....it performs very well......especially at high speed.....mine eats bumps......my solid axle on my Excursion will knock your teeth out
