I’m not a 4x4 expert by any means, but I actually really like the torsion bar setup. To me it does what it needs to off roading. Now, I don’t climb boulders or go through aggressive terrain, but drive the wonderful desert of Nevada and California. On or off road it does great.

The debate has been converting torsion setup to straight axle like the Ford. I have a 2003 F350 and it has the straight axle. The ride is not as smooth and the off roading seems to be equal. I can’t tell a difference.

I think it’s going to come down to how much and type of off roading you’re going to do. If you’re going to be doing boulder climbing, steep hills, very aggressive terrain, then maybe a straight axle would be better for strength and durability. Like I said, I’m not an expert and my opinions are from just driving the truck.
