Nice looking rig. Torchmate guys always do good work.
I could never wrap my mind around the TTB seams like a lot of work to get the tires to track the ground a little better, and heavy complicated etc. A finely tuned TTB might be better than a finely tuned solid axle
I like the viability of the rig. you can even see out the back.
But this is one thing I will never do.
I will never make my suspension compress the rims passed the frame. We tried to get the lowest Mini Baja so we assumed 2" uncompressed tire on the rim then made that even with the chassis on full bump.
Well guess what we bottomed the frame off every jump you do not know how much the ride hurt. (and we still came in 5th out of 120 cars)

I have some good shots of it jumping and I don't think it bottomed out. Maybe they worked the bypasses with that in mind or put the air bumps lower. The shock is completely bottomed out in that pic too. If anyone gets the opportunity to see this car close up, do it. The craftsmanship is insanely good and the rig absolutely flies.
Keep in mind this car won by 30mins and the motor in it would fall on its face at 5000 rpmI don't always drink orange juice, but when I do, I prefer to chew it. #madpulp

There is probably enough tire pressure that it doesn't bottom out the frame.RCrocs #123 Brown CJ-5
