Take a look at Monsterbaby's racer, how much hp is he runnig to that D44 with those 35 boggers? And his is spooled! I switched back to an open front and have no probs with the chromo shafts. It all depends on what you are doing as to what works best, and everyone's opionions are just that, opinions. So let's be easy on the personal bashing, this isn't Pirate ya know......
This isn’t pirate…but maybe if it was a little more like it we wouldn’t have the “normal” for here thread: can I clear 31” tires with no lift….kinds of questions…just a thought…

it was a great truck up until that point. point being, you dont have to beat on it for that wonderful TTB to show its true colors.
ditch the TTB and save yourself lots of money and headaches down the road!

Damn!!....i had very minor damage that was easily fixed with mine b4 I ripped the ttb out, it was a 96’ with 6” superlift…… and I beat the living **** out of that truck…pretty much every day…
Ehh…I know that I would leave it in there if I were in his shoes but the best thing would be to swap it…

i had 4" ttb lift on my 85 f-150 with 33 mud kings...it was mostly a road queen with the occasional (once a month or less) mudhole....the bolts never stayed tight, frame started to crack around the radius arm brackets and the crossmember started cracking aorund the ttb drop brackets....this truck was never beat on
the drop brackets PUT TOO MUCH stress on the areas where they are attacthed....even if you weld the one brackets like it says to do in instructions

whoa whoa whoa... i have a 3 inch body and can fit 35s without rubbing.. its the question of offset rims... i have stock rims for now and i dont rub unless i try to turn it on a dime... which is pointless anyways.. my friend had a 92 f150 and had a 6" lift with 38x15.5x15 super swampers.. i have em in my backyard now, but they didnt rub.. as soon as i can muster the cash. its another 6 inches for me and them 38s. and dont tell the 300 I6 guys but its also gettin a TOTALLY customized brand new 460.. 
its gonna cost a lot but hey its worth it..

if you wait your going to end up doing the SAS anyways and then you will have frame damage to fix as well.....get a group of your buddies a keg of beer (or two) and do it in one weekend....
