Thats an oxymoron you know. TTBs don't flex! The Jeep coils may help a little especially if you've only got the weight of a 2.8L up front. The biggest hold up of the TTB for flex is binding in the radius arms, and their shortness. Thats why the James Duff setup was about the best you could do for the TTB. It almost doubled the arm length and added heims at the ends.


Seriously unless its going to be a street driven rig I wouldn't waste time with a D35. 33s are about the limit if you're careful. If you are dead set on it, make sure that you do the C-clip eliminator on the front axle. I did it on my old 86 and on the 95 when it had the d35. You won't know how much of a life saver it is until you break the shaft on the trail. It saves pulling the pig off the beam. It saved my butt when I blew both ends of the long side shaft simultaneously.

Taxx is going to help me setup the gears sometime sooner or later. Been a busy year though, other things had to take priority
