TTB unequal beam lengths, think I know why

Prove you're right. You can't, because every link you put up doesn't say they're unequal. You don't know what you're talking about. Know how I can tell? Because you said 2wd is equal length, yet the 4wd stuff bolts in the same place the 2wd stuff does. Duh.

well I see that the 1980+ 2wd are unequal, same as the 4x4's it sure as hell wasn't that way prior, my 76 f250 was equal.
@Snaggletooth don't bother measuring I already know it is, I spent a good 6 hours researching I actually own a 91 f150 4x4, wasn't looking for 2wd info. everywhere I look all I kept reading was TTB IS *****, I just bought this damn thing so I had to find out what the hell is wrong ....turns out most everyone talking crap did a half ***** lift and screwed them all up...(btw don't get rude with me unless it's in person!)
@JCMS what did you expect to accomplish derailing this thread with BS? I'm guessing post count means something to you, sorry it means nothing to me except you need to get out more.
(kinda remind me of my 25yr old nephew wants respect but don't want to earn it, how old are you? lol)
google isn't hard to use unless it proves you wrong.

lol I am 20 and did a lift on my 95 with TTB and the TTB is perfectly fine. And what you said earlier with the longer length of the beam to compensate for the extra weight... what about the transfer case and gas tank? The front tank is strictly on the drivers side... What about when there is someone driving it? There is more weight on the pumpkin side. If you look at the old chevy trucks the pumpkin is on the passenger side.

All very entertaining. The whole "unsprung weight" theory was pretty well thought out - give you credit for the thought.
But it has nothing to do with it.
It's all about Geometry and keeping the "roll center" of the truck in the middle. That distributes the sprung weight of the truck evenly to both front wheels.
The unequal length is required to compensate for the pivot points being mounted one behind the other (therefore in different places in relation to the spindle pivot and radius arm pivot).
It's an engineering thing.
