Been doing some searching an TTB options for my truck and I so far see that no one has tried to put a full 2nd Gen Ranger TTB axle on a 1st Gen EB. Are there any reasons other than the torsion bar issue for not doing so?
I can obtain a full axle, with knuckles more easily than I can just the knuckles and associated hardware to do the knuckle swap. Since I am contemplating doing a regear and diff upgrade in the front t the same time to minimize the down time. It seems to me that this may be an easier deal than pulling apart my TTB to mesh the two together. I'm also looking at adding a 2inch lift via F150 springs to fit 33's.
My goal is to combine this with a 2nd Gen EB rear axle, also regeared and Aussied, along with SOA so I can have a fully upgraded brake system as well as an upgraded drivetrain and lift.
Your thoughts?
