Default Truss, C Gussets

Just wondering what these do for the axle and or vehicle. I see a lot of people telling our fellow Jkrs if they get 37's makesure you do those, and also as a DD if I put 37's on my rubicon is 4.10 still ok or is it better not to do that?

For gearing, there are several current threads to read through on the first few pages of this modified area, and you could also open the faq's at the top and find the drivetrain section.

Im currently running 37s on the 4.10's. It sucks.

As for gussets have a look at the Cs. The upper part is really thin at its longest part and is pretty easy to bend. Trusses add structure to the housing so that you are less likely to bend or break it.

I recommend C's to everyone. Trusses to people who play on rocks.

Yep, I agree. There was also another thread (that I can't find ) that talked a bit about how sleeves are better for the occasional rock impacts, and trusses are better for the up/down of higher speed driving offroad driving. It would be good info to add to that one.
