Default Axle upgrades

Ok I'm a newbie here looking for info. I have a 2015 unlimited rubicon. I'm running 35's on a 2.5 in lift. What type of front end/rear end upgrades would you make? We bought this to offroad. We will drive it to offroad places with popup.

At least install gussets on the Cs. Sleeve or truss. Though the sleeve/truss topic is often debated at to its effectiveness.

If you are talking about your axles, then none are needed. I'm assuming that since you are talking about camping with a pop up. So I'm guessing that you're not rock crawling, and you already have Dana 44 in front. Which can handle those 35's pretty easily.

If you really want to spend some money though, gusset the Cs and leave it at that.

It all depends what kind of off roading you plan to do. If you are gonna play in the rocks, then You'll need under armor as well as trussing the front diff housing. Regular trail riding and over landing it will be fine as is.

What they said. Gusset the C's and maybe add a nice thick diff cover like riddler or poison spyder. I'm also a fan of front lower control arm skids like the ones from artec or evo

I would get a oil pan skid to include the gussets.
