Rear Axle Support Question?

Hey All,

I have been reading a lot on axle support...truss, sleeves, and gussets. Most of the write ups are on the front axle. So my question is what if anything is done to the rear axle?

TIA

Truss it if your really worried, honestly id leave it. Get Chromoly shafts if you bend a flange...

The rear axle uses a larger diameter tube that is stronger then the one used on the front, that is one of the reasons you see so many people sleeving or trussing the front.
