[QUOTE="macleanflood, post: 455466, member: 23653"] I trussed and sleeved my Dana 30 on my TJ. To do it right you're going to have to completely strip the housing...heat it up to 350 degrees...weld the truss on in small controlled passes to prevent warping...and then wrap it in a fiberglass blanket and control temperature so it cools slowly. I'd highly recommend Barnes for trusses. Matt's Offroad and Fabrats YouTube channels have 10 percent off codes. I think I would leave your axles alone...if anything get new shafts. If you're set on running 38s send your 44s and if they break or bend go for 60s. Also consider this...a truss will limit your up travel. If you install a truss you're going to need to pull your springs and fully articulate the axles and adjust your bump stops. -Mac [/QUOTE]
