I think that would be for axel sleeves right? If I do those I will probably just do the nitro axle sleeves that don't require welding. Unless I find a reason not too. But I've heard they are pretty good. I Wanna stay away from as much welding as possible because that would require taking it to a shop and paying half a nut for install. Lol.

You can only do that with a Prorock if you already have a D44. Teraflex makes a D30 replacement housing. You still have the weak ring and pinion though.

Good point. If it's like you say, then I see no point in doing a housing change to a tera 30 if I'll still have similar internal problems and just go straight to a prorock 44? Or am I missing something here.

Anyone running stock gears with the Dana 30 on 37? I know about the loss in power and what not but I'm looking to see the changes of breaks. I heard you want to have lower gears to prevent breaks in that area? What's too low and what's too high? Is there a limit? Thanks. Sorry if I'm bugging you guys. I just would like to know
Also, you can save some labor getting C's, truss, etc done if you do your gears at the same time since your axle will be dropped. That's what I'm doing in the next week or so.

Btw why did you replace your ball joints because you were doing gusset(I've been told that the heat can ruin the stock ball joints while welding them on) I know it's suggested but is it necessary? Or did you replace because they were used up?
You can semi get away with that if you have a 2012+, manual trans, and 4.10's. Everything else, forget it.

From what I have planned I think I'll only do gussets at a shop.
Sleeves I think I'll do myself, the nitro ones that don't require welding.
Gears, I'll only do those if i have too.

Nice video! I plan to go to Moab some day. After seeing this I may go sooner instead of waking around for my rig to be completely built.

Ok, recap...stock sport gears wouldn't work in your opinion? I have a 2013 sport. Gear could either be 3.73 or 3.21 not sure but give me a suggestion either way
