my lift cost 360 dollars that is cheaper than lifting a solid axle for the same hight even though i don't really want to get into this with you again but lifting the truck i own is still cheaper than buying a new truck and then lifting it  

Off topic, but soild axle rigs can be lifted really cheap w/ shackles and shackle reversiles. As for the ttb, I have seen many last a long time off road w/ *OMG* 35's as long as you drive sensably and know your limits.  

And rotate/replace your tires often too because it will eat them up front.

snowman i live on a ranch in the wolf mountains of montana i knnow this dosen't mean much to you but we have an 85 f250 with a 460 and about 250000 miles on it and they are all ofroad work miles in the hills it hasen't been licensed in years and is still a daily driver and the front end has had no issuse to date and this truck has been driven bye many people some who drive sensible and some who dont it is used for pulling trailers hauling hay and much more the frame hasbeen broke the fenders are falling off but the front end is still fine so don't try to tell me they wont last but i do admit it does eat the tires a little  

My 1995 f150 has 146k miles on it and the ttb is just fine except that the radius arms and brackets are starting to show signs of wear. Its not a huge deal right now it just makes a little noise when turning during cold weather. The truck still tracks straight down the road and soaks up bumps just fine.  By the way, my neighbor is the one with they toy with a 22re that gets about 25mpg but thats when hes taking it easy on the road.
