little bit of lift on the front...just replaced the bottom leaf with a stiffer rear end leaf to bring it up...with 36 inch Goodyear Military tires........used to be mine....my buddy owns it now...7.3 diesel with a 5 speed
That looks like mudding, minimal stress compared to other styles of wheeling...everyone has somebody that they know (or did it themselves) that threw 44's on a TTB and flogged it...so I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree,
Some years of the F350 4x4 used a TTB axle. I can't remember what the years are though. I thought that in mid 85 they went back to the straight axle, not 100% sure though.
As far as I know, the F350 was TTB from 80-85.5, an '86 should be a solid axle. It sounds like you have an F250 with an F150 cab, or someone swapped out your half ton axles to 8 lug stuff. See what the VIN on the door and frame are and if they match!
