Well, when you let your son drive it up a Boulder til it's nearly vertical then climb the rock on top of that boulder with just one wheel...
no....this is not what i mean. and this will depend on where in the country you live.
my bronco lifted with dana 44 front axle, fresh springs and bushings, on 33 inch radials will corner harder then a stock b2. not even close to keeping up with me on the number 7 trail. that surprised me.....never would have dared to think that. i figured it was the 4.0 over the 2.9....but it was the damn thing wanting to lay over that slowed em down.
the ttb in certain conditions has the propensity to jack and unload and the inherent mis-alignment kicks in and does not help. this is the width and wheelbase.
a b2 with a d35 is much different then one with a d 28. i have had both. and really thats all they needed. its subtle until you push it. add 5 inches of wheel base and it would have been golden.
after spinning out on exit 227 on i75 in northern michigan my wife refused to drive one in the winter anymore.
i have had many b2 axles in my ranger because back in the day there were so many rolled. out of nearly 30 units...this was early 90's....only two or were not rolled. as time rolled on(yeah i said that..) this improved.
down south though....that was not the case. .there were two rows at one place and none looked rolled...and out in cali it was maybe 1 in 5 were rolled at the yards i visited...at that time there were a row or so and a row or so of explorers... cant even hardly find one now.
all that said. they are dangerous for people that do not have the good sense that god give a grasshopper. people ...the nader people....unsafe at any speed.
a stock b2 with a dana 28 i do not care to drive in the winter from personal experience. and i mean winter.....north of the 45th...
but if i did not have a choice....or it was my only vehicle....just drive easy. gonna be fine as long as you dont have to dodge and make evasive maneuvers for spinning minivans.
