1.What are you currently running on your 4x4?
Twin Traction Beam w/Skyjacker XJ coils front, bastardized Explorer leaf springs rear

2.What is your favorite or what do you plan to change yours to?
The TTB suspension seems to work quite well for me... The front may end up as a monobeam (straight axle) setup if I ever upgrade to a bigger size axle (D60) to handle bigger tires. It would most likely stay coils/ext. radius arms however (to keep things simple). I may do some sort of a 3 or 4-link w/coils on the rear eventually, eliminating the obnoxious leafspring shackles on the rear (this would hopefully get rid of some wheelhop issues in the process).

3.What did your 4x4 come with stock?
TTB front, Leaf springs rear

1.What are you currently running on your 4x4?
63" 1/2 ton Chebbys in the rear with a 6" block and extended shackles
52" 3/4 ton Chebbys (with 3 leaves pulled) in the front and extended shackles

2.What is your favorite or what do you plan to change yours to?
I like the leaves minus the road handling, maybe air shocks down the road but the leaves are fine.

3.What did your 4x4 come with stock?
Torsion bar IFS front and stock ranger leaves w/ a 2" block in the rear.
