Ok guys, bear with me as I have been into the liquor cabinet tonight...
Ok so I got to sell the Jeep so I can buy me a house, and I need an off road toy. I've basically narrowed it down to anything full size ford '92-'97. Now this is where it get complicated...
So I know there are a couple companies running diesel Baja trucks. Banks/Donahue and K.O.R.E. come to mind.
There is a '95 F-250 PSD 4x4 Extended cab short bed down the street for sale. Low miles but the bedsides are beat and the paint is nasty.
Now heres where the "anti-SAS" comes into play...
I want to buy up that F-250 and make a prerunner style truck out of it. I mean resivoir shocks, coil springs, radius arms, bulged fenders... the whole 9
Is it feasable to build a cut and bent D50 TTB that will hold up to jumping a truck that has over 3k on the front axle? Has anyone done this or seen it done? Where would I even start? I want to run about 4 inches of lift with hopefully 20 inches of wheel travel, similar to this bronco setup:
I assume that if KORE is selling chase truck kits for Dodges then a TTB could be plated/reinforced to be just as strong as a Dodge axle...
I know theres a lot of knowledgeable people on this site, sombody has to know some D50 tricks
