ttb and 36s?
So I decided to take the dive and get myself a 6" lift kit for my 95" f150 4x2, since it's only a few bucks more than a 4.
I was surfing Pirate a few days ago, and I noticed some bickering about a fella's ttb and tire size- I can't recall the size or find it in the search but it got me thinking about my own ideas. I'm wanting to fit a pair of 36s and somewhat wider than 10.5 (Maybe 12.5). I wonder if I'm over doing it a bit?
I'm optioning the rad arms out of the kit since the truck is only a 4x2 and I won't be doing any hard core playing, but just enough to ensure the money isn't going to waste. (I'm also using this as a hunting rig.)
And, just for curiousity sake, how big is too big for the ttb?
Thanks.
I should probably get around to doing a solid axle swap, eh?

A sana 44ttb will hold up fine to a 36x12.5 tire just fine, even under harder wheel'n (but you have to drive it, not beat the crap out of it), and the TIB (what the 22wd's are) will hold up to the 36's just fine, the only thing you'd have to worry about is the rear 8.8 self destructing under hard wheeling.
But yeah if you convert it to 4wd, skip the TTB (unless you do a lot of pre runner wheeling, and in that case TTB and TIB's dominate) and go straight to the solid front axle.
