It all depends on what you want.
Our system is a Long Travel 4X4 Suspension System like you would find in many Prerunners used in Off Road Racing. It has a very compliant ride compared to other systems and drives more like the van did right off the showroom floor on the road. Off road, it has the high speed agility of the best modern factory 4x4s offered. We have owners that report better handling off road than their Rubicons and Toyotas.
Just try the "Speed Bump Test".
It is my belief, that a Independent Front Suspension TTB performs better in sand. I'm not sure where a straight axle van would do better off road. On the road a stiff straight axle might corner better in a flat turn - with our TTB you will feel the suspension moving, which flattens out rough pavement though.
Ujoint's system is a tried and true leaf sprung straight axle conversion that is very robust and reliable. The ones I have driven have very good road manners. Their conversions look awesome and they have that look that many are wanting.
Many people want a straight axle with leaf springs - if that is wanted, Ujoint would be my choice.
Their DIY option is great - no one else offers that.
