This is NOT our TTB system!

I don't know who built that or what the application is.

The front diff moves on all straight axle conversions as well - just not much

That is because it has 12 inches of usable wheel travel and works awesome.

What about strength and durability versus a solid axle and leaf springs?

How do you quantify "strength and durability?

Both are more than "strong" enough and share many parts or are the same size.

Neither really have failures.

Got curious about this. Looking closely at the radius arm brackets, noticed the "s" cutout. It's a kit by solo motorsports.

Definitely a ttb, but perhaps not a 50 like your builds. Their website only shows kits for broncos, rangers...mostly 35 and 44 axles.

The strength difference is the Dana 50 ring and pinion and 30 spline shafts are rated for 500ft/lbs less than a Dana 60. Not really an issue unless you are running lower transfer case gears or super low R&P gears with big tires. For desert running this really isn't an issue for rock crawling it can be.
