TTB question, please respond

Hey all. I got a couple of questions about the TTB and lifting them. First off does anybody out there make a lifted TTB beam or does everybody just make spring kits? If someone does make a lifted TTB would it be stronger than a spring kit, would it last longer? Please repley i need answers for a project that i'm going to be doing.

i think i heard that skyjacker or someone made a whole new and longer axle halves but im sure it would cost less to just go to solid front axle instead.

I have checked skyjacker and I couldn't find those axle halves.

BTW, i don't need/want anything about solid axles

Check this out. This may be what your looking for.

Expensive but probably very strong as it was designed for high speed desert racing.

TTB question, please respond

Crap, thats what I wanted to do, but my idea involves usinge drop down brackets that also extend out the i-beams out a couple of inches for better conrol and i am also trying for 7 inches of lift and possibily 20 inches of wheel travel instead of 4inches of lift and 16 inches of travel while still using the stock ttb but using a new type of steering to. And next year i was hopping to try to make a automatic camber adjustment (rather simple really, but strength is a concern). So i guess I have to talk to my science teacher about it.
