take about 3-4 leaves out of the rear spring packs. It should flex more. Let us know how it goes...

Default Re: want more flex

well i made a quick disconnect for my front TTB (u kno not the average IFS basicly closes thing to being solid axle just not solid axle) and took out my bump stops in tha front and i got alot more flex outta the front atleast 3 to 4 inchs and i disconnected my rear sway bar and also got more, but my shocks feel to tight as if there is no travel so i was thinking of getting a softer shock it should let my suspenion travel more am i right? my truck is on a 6in suspenion lift now and my buddy is giving me a 2in coil spacer, im goin to put a bigger shackle in the rear so hopefully ill get the flex i want with these improvements

Instead of completely removing the sway bar you could go w/ a shorter sway bar end link...

You can get a bunch of flex out of a ttb axle. You will need to disconnect the sway bar, add extended radius arms and modify the shock mounts. You can get so much flex that you will have to use limiting straps.

Watch your CV joint angles when adding more lift, gonna start tearing them up without dropping the front diff.

No CV jounts in a ttb. Cheap lifts are drop brackets, expensive lifts are cut and turned beams. The problem with ttb lift and wheel travel is steering. Expensive lifts have 12 to 17-inches of wheel travel.

Get rid of the IFS. 4 Link the rear, add coiloivers, 3link the front, remove your junk axle, replace with a beefy axles (your choice here, 14bolt, hi9's, dana 60, mogs, etc) Stuff 40-42's on it, shave the fenders if necessary, get some DOM tubing some johnny joints and start building.


Here's a smaller build on a forum, but I know deep down you wanna build bigger
