Axel housing question?
I'm going to be installing C gussets an gussets on the top of my D30... I'm doing this cause I just got in 2.5" RK stock mod an gona be running trail grapplers 35X12.50.... Does anyone know the thickness of the axel housing... I've been welding for over 10 years so this won't be a problem for me I was wondering if anyone knew the thickness... I will be extra care with jumping around an taking my time not to put to much heat on these cause this is my DD so can't get this wrong.... Thanks guys!!

This is posted on dynatracs website in the PR44 comparison. Might help?
Strength in Bending
Note: Values greater than one indicate an improvement in bending strength. For example, the stock housing
with a sleeve is 1.35 times as strong when compared to the stock housing without a sleeve.
Stock JK Axle 2.5” OD x 0.25” = 1.0
Stock JK Axle with 2.0" OD x 0.25" sleeve on inside of tube = 1.35
Dynatrac JK Trail Series – Stock JK Pumpkin with re-tube to 2.75" OD x 0.375" = 1.79
Dynatrac ProRock 44 Standard Axle Tube 3.0" OD x 0.3125" = 2.13
Dynatrac ProRock 44 Extreme Duty Axle Tube 3.0" OD x 0.5" = 2.82
