TLT's would be easier to use but the High Lift axles would be closer to a scale look.

Supra votes for the High Lift axles. Why? Ability to lock/unlock with ease, in addition to appearance.

depends what you want
Tlt is the narrowest, if only a little bit narrower than a highlift.

TLT has weak areas near the C section. Also smallest input pinion shaft area, though you can swap in a highlift axle pinion.

Axial is the widest of the 3 mentioned, but strongest and cheaper to buy. Plus many aftermarket options.

the highlift axle is only about 3/8ths wider so I'd go, or look for highlift then

the one problem I see with using TLT or high lift axles on a bruiser frame is that the spring perches won't line up.

well i was going to do the 4link in the rear (like so many have thanks to chino's bruiser) and the front i will mod. the leafs to fit...basically i want do mine like (chino's) with my own twists here and there i already have the tranny plate/body/frame, now i need the axels so i guess they would have to tuck under or to a certain extent.
