1990 f-250 4x4 cummins swap

I disagree. I've seen stock TTB setups stand up to 460cid engines and 44" TSL's. The only real "bad" part about TTB suspensions is that they have a nasty habit of sagging springs after a while and cause all sorts of annoying tire wear issues. Beyond that, I've actually had fairly decent luck with durability. It was a better idea at the time than the CV style IFS setups; less parts and people were more familiar with u-joints. Just my two cents... I still prefer a Dana 60 though...

As long as spring pad distance is the same. Keep in mind that a Dana 60 out of a '79 won't work because of the narrow pad distance. But a Dana 60, kingpin or balljoint, of roughly the same year model as the truck it's going into should bolt right up to most F-250 TTB setups. You'll need to fab a Panhard rod setup though, or your side-to-side steering will shift the axle around...

Like I said its just what everyone I have read say about the TTB. Mine is dead right now but that could be part of the hell its been through and the 200k miles
