Agreed. Now, it needs a leveling kit for the front.that new tire/wheel combo really sets off all the other body you've done! looks great!

I wouldnt mess around with the front end of that thing. They are stupid TTB front suspension systems. Never ending game of spring sag, adjustable upper ball joint, lame handling in transition, and worn tire misery awaits you.
I actually kinda like the TTB setup. They get a lot of hate, but there are a lot of misconceptions about them. Four wheeler did a pretty good article on them a few years back and I've grown to like them a lot since reading it and driving a few of them. I much prefer it over the full IFS that was on my GMT400 trucks. Here's the article, it's a decent read if you are interested.

That's a decent read, thanks.
I'll stick with my initial assessment of that suspension design however. In a modified performance application it has some benefits. In a daily driver it's got too many moving parts.
I have the 3/4 ton version that is the height of dorkdom. Let's take a suspension that moves in an arc then slap really wide leaf springs to it that don't move like that. Rides like a bale wagon and wears out tires like it's cool.
wish my 97 f250 looked as nice as yours.i replaced the drivers rockers,floor,cab support,and radiator support and fender last spring.this year i have to do the passengers side.
