Save a little more and get your C's gusseted and RCV shafts. Everyone wants beef up the housing when its that shafts that are weeker, especially on a D30.

Why would you get rcv shafts in a 30? Now your making the weak point the ring and pinion

I agree on weld in sleeved, gussets and lac skids but get some chromo shafts and spicer joints. Now your weak point are the ujoints which are cheap and mostly easy to repair vs ring and pinion

I'd have to agree with not putting RCV shafts in on a 30. I'd also probably even skip putting chromo's in the front on a 30. The rear takes more of the load, so if anything - get new chromoly shafts for the rear. But hey, who am I to tell ya what you wanna do

Don't waste your money on the D30. C's and sleeves are the most I would do.

Let us know if you want any prices on anything when you decide which components you might want to go with.

I would put the money towards a spare and tire carrier. Save an extra month if needed and get it all at once. You can do the Teraflex or Or-Fab carrier and still run the stock bumper to save some money too. Good luck with your decision.
