rockwells are 2.5 ton axles...these are the axles that are put in miltary deuce and a halves 6x6's.
the ttb pivots in the middle and the tires get rubbed in all sorts of odd positions b/c the tires are not designed to be used in parallel with the ground when going over rough terrain (around turns, potholes doin 70 mph, speedbumps) whereas monobeams will pretty much stay parallel all the time unless you are in an extreme situation.
a D44 and a D50 (both ttb) are designed with the same geometry...but just as weak.

The Leaf sprung TTB's have similar geometry to a coil sprung one, BUT, they have shorter I-beams, making the amount of camber change caused by suspension travel even greater. They ride worse, and are even harder on tires...
