I don't have any experience with this kit. However, I will say that when I was researching gussets, the design of the ORE Evo gussets seem to be a very popular choice. That is what I ultimately chose and am happy. It just seems like a stouter, better engineered option IMO.

IT looks like a lot more than just the gussets for the C's. If you want extra strength on the tubes I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Like others, I have ordered the EVO c's and lca skids and the magnum 44 inner sleeve.

With everything I read about our weak assed dana30's I can't think there would be anything wrong with going full retard on gusseting them up.

As was noted in the last thread on these gussets, the downside is that you will loose a bit of ground clearance with the lower gusset. I would prefer c gussets and outer sleeves to this kit, but any strength increase is better than none. My fav is still the rs-e bombshell.
