bump... any more info?

I planning to run 37's with 3.65" backspacing so I'm looking for details on how to beef up the axles (4wd).

Evolution, you have any pics?

Any issues welding gussetts to the stock c's? Aren't they cast?


How much $$$ would the brackets set us back?

I would also be curious how many $ it would take to do the gusset job before it gets bent!

I think our user DocWinkle bent his D30 housing when he was at little sahara. I might be mistaken, but you ought to ask him his thoughts...

From what he told me he dropped it pretty hard coming off a dune and it snapped like pretzel.
