IFS? TTB?
Thanks for all of ya'lls help. and greystreak92 thanks verry much that what I was looking for. but one more small ? you spoke of corecting the stering problem do you know of a good fix for it I'm planning to lift it 6" with skyjacker probably and was thinking of getting there deul shock steering stabalizer would this salve the prob with steering bounce and allignment not that allignment going to matter much on the trail but the bounce that i'm curently getting does seem to be a problem. It's acualy tossed me into a big hole before was able to get out but didnt want to be there to begin with.
Thanks again for all you help guys.

Superlift makes a steering kit for ford ttb. I dont believe people prefer solid axle to ttb because they dont understand how a ttb works. I have not had a problem with my front end. I do think that a ttb is stronger then some people give it credit for. But if your going to do some serious off roading, such as rock crawling, you would want a solid axle front end. Depending on what you get, it is just a stronger setup. And as far as articulation goes,check out some of the suspension setups that give a solid axle some crazy flex. Get a copy of 4 wheel magazine and take a look at some of the suspension setups on the trail rigs.

If you guys are still reading this, there is a better link for a solid axle conversion...
It is a direct bolt on kit, very easy to install.

It's a little spendy but is worth it.
I am doing a peice it together conversion to a solid D44 which is much more work than the kit found at the link above.

That's the whole point in the SAS though. For people that want to hardcore wheel and rock crawl. Not necessarily a daily driver, but there are a few out there though.

IFS? TTB?
Yup, it's true! I've had great luck "in the wood's", crawling up stream beds and steep wash-out ravines with Ford's TTB! It continues to amaze me, how twisted the ground can be, and yet this thing keeps all four tires solidly on the ground! (of course - NO sway bars on my 81'!:-) Alignment/handeling issues were pointed out to me by a wise veteran of the buisness...
He put the bronco on the lift, and he and a few buddies pulled the front end down and up, and had me watch the front wheels.
UNLIKE IFS or standard passenger cars, or almost anything else out there - whose front wheels will toe in and/or out together, counter acting each other, the Bronco's TTB let the front wheels turn left, then right. ie: Bump steer is exactly that. You hit a bump, the front end jumps to the left; then back to the right!
I have the experience to say, after 236,000 miles in my Bronco, that, Yes, these front ends are a nightmare to keep up to snuff.
HOWEVER - I still would not trade her in for a Chv or Ddg...
