'93 F-150 build

i say dont drop a dime on TTB and go strait axle. no sense on wasting money on something you will eventually throw or give away. IN a timely matter of course. wheel it stock as is, then upgrade after you have the cash.

I didn't know they didn't bolt up, or that they were pretty much all leaf set ups. So I guess i'm going to work on getting another trans for now then get ryans 4" lift when i get some money and then look for some bigger tires and some different wheels. I was told to put a lunch box locker in my rear diff. Is there any real big down side to putting one of those in a daily driver? Ryan also said that he's got some lockers for an 8.8 laying around, should I go with a real locker or do a lunch box locker?

Here is a nice one

you could totally fit a lunch box in there! :flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

and for the record, yes I know what a locker is

Going SAS off the batt is not a bad idea, but I would go d60 from the get go if I intended to wheel it. I did a d44 to get mine back on the road before my front end completely disentegrated, it was cheaper and simpler at the time. In the meantime, you can find enough second hand ttb stuff for cheap to keep it going.

sparling for your rear axle on that truck I'd go welded/spooled or find and swap in an axle with an LSD.

its a dd, don't weld or spool it

Shadup! All the cool kids tires chirp when they make corners. :flipoff2:
