That guy didn't drive a real truck, which is why the CV shafts got ****ed. You don't have CVs

No real worries like that for those that own Fords older then 96/97.

TTBs can be lifted, but you might want to do a D60 conversion first. I lifted my F250 when it had the ttb and it was sort of ok. No matter what I did before or after the lift it ate tires. Did a D60 conversion and WOW! Now I have a good driving truck. I haven't changed the front springs to 350 springs yet but you do want to do that. It rides rough on the 250 springs. There won't be much price difference to do the convert with good used parts compared to lifting the ttb, and it's a heck of a lot easier!
