Fixing Everything That's WRONG With a Twin Traction Beam Front Axle! TTB!

In this video I'm doing some serious upgrades on the twin traction beam explorer. I design and fabricate a novel replacement for the stock radius arms in my Ford Explorer TTB front end that was swapped from a dana 35 to a dana 50. I hope to fix the caster issues that twin traction beam axles have as well as make it a much better front end in general. I don't address the camber issues but IMO the caster issue is much more important. I want to show how this four wheel drive twin I-beam suspension can actually work well!

I've seen plenty of people use extended radius arms but I have never seen anyone use a parallel 4 link type setup on a TTB axle and I'm not sure why since I believe it will be a HUGE improvement over the stock style arms both for how it will handle, and the serviceability. It will take a similar amount of effort as making long arm radius arms anyways, so in my opinion I may as well upgrade the design while I'm at it!
