[QUOTE="The Mav, post: 1045791, member: 20648"] exactly. I don't see why people are scared of it. It just works. Maybe they like not having working 4x4? IDK? His uses are harder on things than most peoples. and it held up for him great. So that should be proof enough that for less stress they will be ever better. Did these shops tell you why they advise against it? probably to sell you something else that can break, and make you spend more money with them. OEM's wouldn't use it if it was a bad design. Hell ford used it themselves. when the rangers switch to SLA IFS from the TTB setup, they had vacuum operated hubs like the raptors do now. 2 years after that they switch to unit bearings and a live axle setup because the vacuum hubs were a terrible system and kept breaking. Why the stopped using the design is beyond me. Oh wait, they can make more money off parts this way! Genius! Some people will say the torsen is why a live axle setup is bad for this particular situation, but they would be mistaken again. Many people run live axles with limited slips up front, including torsens. No issues. nothing to be afraid of. Added wear? so minimal it's useless to mention. Worse MPG? again, so minimal is not worth mentioning. I mean, I guess the only downside is if you like seeing your ford dealer when your IWE breaks, you wont be able to do that anymore. [/QUOTE]
