Re: Light weight vs heavy weight axles.

If the TTB is already installed, why not just refresh and rock it? I wouldn't spend the time to do the swap to a solid front end just to put more weight underneath. The Broncos successfully used the set up that you have already got for years and were probably more top heavy than you are.

Besides, how many times have we seen a tail dragging F150 loaded well over capacity? From scrap metal collectors with 1000+ pounds WAY over the top of the cab to guys with cab overs getting around just fine.

Get it all sorted from a reliability standpoint and use the extra time that you have left over to go have some fun exploring with your son.
