Once again, thank you for another very helpful video. I'm helping my son lift his 93' Ranger and your video helped us understand what is going on with his twin I beam.
Holy smokes! That's an old video. Making me feel old. Really liked my 2wd Ford Ranger! Too bad I wasn't really into TH-cam video back then. I did a six-inch Skyjacker kit on my 2wd Ranger.
I got a 1990 ford lariat f250 with the same suspension should I keep it? Standard with 244000 and gas single cab but the front end needs work, any idea what I should do with it?
With the Dana 44 TTB that I'm putting in my 96 F150, I'm leaving the suspension at stock height, should the caster and camber require much adjustment with 31" tires?
what do i need to do to correct my steering on my ford bronco ? i've replaced power steering gear box and had alignment done and my bronco steering is like driving the general lee, do i need to replace tie rods, cener link and drag link, ball joints?
My front tires are bowed out bad on the front end. We replaced the ball joints. What exactly do you have to do with those bolts above the ball joints to get everything lined back up. Is there a manual or something somewhere online?
Those cams just drop in. Pull them out and rotate to adjust castor and camber. But it takes special tools to align just right. Check the Toe first. If it's Toed in the tires will bow out and bow in if the Toes out.
hey question i want to put a 6 inch RC lift on my 1990 ford bronco question #1 brake lines do i need longer brake lines and question #2 there is one drop bracket that you have to drill 2 holes can you pls help me i dont wan to end up installing it wrong when i get the lift
I have a 95 F150 with the TTB. I lifted my truck with a rough country 4 in lift. There is a popping coming from the front end when i turn to the right. Im having a hard time figuring out what is causing the popping. do you know or have any ideas that could help me out. alignment is straight also. thanks
edward cullen did you ever check the clearance of the axle drive shaft to the steering knuckle? Sometimes the u-joint will hit the side of the knuckles if it doesn’t have enough clearance.
I run fruehauf commercial truck / trailer air bags in my 1996 F-250 powerstroke and keep my camber perfect by eyeball depending on load the toe in is set with the truck empty and leveled and air is added as necessary to keep it there ; )
can you make a video of adjusting or tightening the front end up? what i mean by that is when you drive at high speeds the steering wheel has more play and the truck likes to wander across lanes in the road. are there any ways to tighten it other then replace the steering gear?
@cowboy346 Wow! Thats a good question. If I remember right. The F-250 TTB was leaf sprung. So bigger springs should work but you will also need to relocate the axel pivot brackets. Skyjacker used to make 8 inch brackets for Bronco/F-150s. So I think you maybe able to use 6 inch springs with longer shackles and the Skyjacker axel brackets for 8 inches of lift.
Tie rod ends and drag link will help a lot as will the ball joints was having the same problem tightened everything right up. You can also replace the axle pivot bushing and the radius arm bushings try upgrading to polyuethane ones
Doing it requires a modern alignment machine. It takes a special measurement and the correct bushing is indexed upon install to fix alignment. I would recommend you mark it and install it in the same position to get you going.
@@captaincaveman8377 thanks. You know inquired at a few of the local shops. 1 wouldn't call me back, 1 said it was kabir intensive whatever that means, and 1 told me 1600, for ball joints and wheel bearings. So anyway for about 350 I've gotten new ball joints,wheel bearings, and cv axle u joints. So turn m trying to keep my gist down obviously. So if I can get the new camber bushings to n all I should have to pay for is the actual alignment. About 150 bucks. I can live with that. Seems anymore shops don't want to touch the old stuff. Thanks again.
Hey I’m building a long travel Dana 50 set up and I wanted to ask you about your geometry and the measurements on like your radius arm length. When it comes to the math and right lengths and the angles I need all the help I can get.
Thanks for the comment. Yes the Ford TTB is foreign to many Ford Bronco owners. There are companies that manufacture TTB axels and suspension products built for off road racing. You may what to look up Camberg Racing or Autofab on the net for more info..
i got an 88 f150 that just cant get aligned...and now i see why. i just put a nice set of tires on it and got the toe done...its half ass but it seems to handle okay
@rudedogii nah i put all new tie rods, ball joints and bearings in 2 years ago, which was only 15k miles ago...i know it needs a real alignment but i cant seem to get it right myself, and the only guy i know who could do it hates fords and refuses...go figure! its a restoration project so it doesnt get driven much, id still like it to be right though
I plan on installing new front coils and shocks all around. So expect a video soon. Check back in a couple of weeks. My Bronco is still at the transmission shop.
Sorry for the late reply. First jack up the front end buy the axles. One jack on each end. Use jack stands to be safe. Please. Now check for play. Grab the tire and try shaking right to left. Any little amount of play is a problem. By play I mean if it fills loose. Have some one look for loose parts as you shake the wheels. Do both one at a time. Next put a 2x4 or something under the wheels and try to lift. Look for play at the ball joints. Hope this helps.
+rudedogii thanks man u inspired me to get a bronco i have a 1990 Eddie Bauer bronco and i was thinking my ball joits were shot because how the tiers go in alittle bitni was about to replace the ballnjoints but the drang linka and tie rods were bad so hopefully that fixes my loose sterring
@ rudedogii hey i just got a 91 bronco its got 8 inches of lift and its on 35's(there a little small for the lift) but the tires are pivited bad when they are on the ground i mean pretty bad and the passenger side when i grab the axle i can shake it and pull it back and forth about and inch or more im new to the ttb iv only had strait axles before what do you think and what should i do?? thanks
@fordbroncodave I think you should check out the Tie Rods and Ball Joints for wear. Adjusting the Steering Box wont help if you have worn parts. Also if you do replace any front end parts dont buy the discount brand. Try and buy Moog.
thanks for the info. i have a 90 bronco and i just put new 33 procomps on it. but i can see the camber is off and need to get it adjusted be for i wear down mt new tread.
You could have a wheel bearing problem or bad tie rods. The pivited is called camber so may may need to change the camber adjusters. Then again if the coil springs are too big the camber is beyond adjustment. I dont know with out seeing your lift.
Check the Fullsize Bronco website for some good info on that subject. I have gone wheeling with a few Broncos with that conversion. I'll send you that video.
@lovemetalhatejuggalo Its hard to find a good front end shop that knows how to align a TTB. Even the shop I goto has hard time getting it right. Its a family business and when the dads there he will test drive my Bronco 2 or 3 times before his boys get it right. When the dads not there the boys dont take the time and its never right. Anyway, the toe is easy but has to be checked, 2 or 3 times after driving. If your tie rods are bad your wasting your time. Check my recent video.
Of I’m not mistaken the diff is the Dana 44. Because you can get Dana 44’s on other vehicles with straight axel. I could be wrong though. That was my understanding
wow, lots of weird geometry on those things! pretty foreign to me as im into landcruisers, typical live axle. TTB is pretty ingenious really, conidering it is basically the same as twin I beam..... great Vid and explanation!
Love 92-96 Bko's and F series trucks. But jesus christ to hell with lifting this monstrosity of an axle. I say they all should have come with the D60 from the 350.
Get a swing style steering and poof your alignments will last a LONG time and the truck will handle soooooo much better. The steering is the weakest link in this suspension set up for sure.
A lot of the problems are from people Lifting them with CHEAP kits...and not knowing what they're doing. People still use TTB for rally racing at higher speeds.
Like yer truck
Got question how can you tell passenger side houseing bent or is it camber need adjusted axel putting preacher on wheel bearings
My ford is struggling any ideas i think my drop brakets are loose and springs need replaced any idea on what i should do first
it took me forever to learn how these things work, but thanks to you bud you really break it down for me. Awesome video! thanx a bunch!
Really? You must not be very mechanically inclined then lol

With the Dana 44 TTB that I'm putting in my 96 F150, I'm leaving the suspension at stock height, should the caster and camber require much adjustment with 31" tires?
All depends on the condition of the springs.
The springs from the donor look to be fairly new. I'm also putting in new polyurethane pivot bushings and new Moog ball joints.
I'm sure it would need some adjustment "alignment".
I'll have the local garage align it for me once it's in and driving.
what do i need to do to correct my steering on my ford bronco ? i've replaced power steering gear box and had alignment done and my bronco steering is like driving the general lee, do i need to replace tie rods, cener link and drag link, ball joints?

Rough country is cheapo garbage
cheap lift kits are Horrible with TTB......it's one of the Main reasons it gets a bad rep.
I run fruehauf commercial truck / trailer air bags in my 1996 F-250 powerstroke and keep my camber perfect by eyeball depending on load the toe in is set with the truck empty and leveled and air is added as necessary to keep it there ; )

I'm glad Ford no longer uses that junk TTB...TTB trucks are ideal for a solid axle swap
You got a thumbs up when you said slip joint!
How the heck do I replace the leaf bushings I cannot get the spring to line back up with shackle
Its on a 97 f250 powerstroke same front end
@cowboy346 Wow! Thats a good question. If I remember right. The F-250 TTB was leaf sprung. So bigger springs should work but you will also need to relocate the axel pivot brackets. Skyjacker used to make 8 inch brackets for Bronco/F-150s.

Questions, when I roll my 89 f250 4wd in reverse the front tires fall in on top.
Lift the front end up and check ball joints
@@captaincaveman8377 thanks replacing balk joints. How big if a pain is it to change camber bushings

Over all length 40in end to center of bottom bolt.

All Broncos from 90's have those axles?
@boomblok Hey thanks for the comment. That Broncos been a good offroader.
how do i keep from ripping up my radius arm bushings, energy suspensions is really start ing to get expensive. Any alternative other than an SAS ?
Tons and done ✅
i got an 88 f150 that just cant get aligned...and now i see why. i just put a nice set of tires on it and got the toe done...its half ass but it seems to handle okay
I just replaced the 8 year old Procomp coils with some progressive rate coils from Jeffs Bronco Graveyard. I think I got the extreme flex coils.
@rudedogii nah i put all new tie rods, ball joints and bearings in 2 years ago, which was only 15k miles ago...i know it needs a real alignment but i cant seem to get it right myself, and the only guy i know who could do it hates fords and refuses...go figure! its a restoration project so it doesnt get driven much, id still like it to be right though

Replace all the bushings . Its been long enough now tho you should know thettb inside and out by now

I dont understand how your ripping up radius arm bushing?
@Outerheaven99 If it ant broke why fix it?
@ktanner11 Those GMC trucks with IFS suspensions ride smooth but they have weak Tie Rods.
do you got a factory pitman arm? whats the lift on it
You could have a wheel bearing problem or bad tie rods. The pivited is called camber so may may need to change the camber adjusters. Then again if the coil springs are too big the camber is beyond adjustment. I dont know with out seeing your lift.
@Outerheaven99 If I had extra money Dana 60s and a four link would be nice! Coils all around and ARB air lockers.
It all depends on how hard you push it.

It’s called the d44

well i dont depend on going bogging or noithin real deep just you know that real slick clay and trail riding is the most becide from getting unstuck.
Oh crap i got an 1986 ford f150 with 40 inch grounhawgs that they discontinued but it still has the ttb on it reply back and say it wont break.
@cowboy346 Try ORU "Offroadunlimited"
The Dana 44 isn't rated for more than a 35inch tire. The TTB is a Dana 44. You can run a bigger tire but expect breakage.
@rudedogii don't worry it just ford wander buy a chevy and you won't have that problem lol
dude u made this on my birthday thats cool
Get a swing style steering and poof your alignments will last a LONG time and the truck will handle soooooo much better. The steering is the weakest link in this suspension set up for sure.
ttb is great if you are a desert guy but solid axle is better for everything else
sjpro1 why does it work so good for desert I just bought a 94 looking at building it for a Baja
TTB can be modified to have huge amounts of wheel travel. I have seen 19" from the front on custom builds.
sjpro1 not for ride comfortability.
That's why ttb sucks ass, if not at ride height or up or down, it affects camber and caster, go straight axle, solves everything!
A lot of the problems are from people Lifting them with CHEAP kits...and not knowing what they're doing. People still use TTB for rally racing at higher speeds.
