Default Axle truss

Am running the r/c duel steering stabilizer and was wondering what if any issues I may run into welding on a truss. My concern was because of the two u bolts that the stabilizers are connected to the axle with.. Can anyone recommend a truss or running a similar set up that could give me advise......

My advice would be to ditch the dual SS's. Seriously.

If your JK's suspension is set up and torqued properly, you don't even need a SS at all, let alone two. The truss will do you more good overall than the stabilizers will, especially when you jump up to bigger tires.

Not the answer you were looking for, I'm sure. But hopefully still answers your question.

Peace of mind? All it does is masks when you have problems, so you don't know that they're there until they've gotten worse.

Would you consider swapping the SS's out for a ram-assist? That's definitely something that is awesome while trying to turn those monster tires.

Ram assist is deff on the mind but would like to strengthen axles a lil more first, anyone with any truss experience?
