Does anyone make a truss or something similar to reinforce the front D44 tubes?

Been looking myself and havent come across one yet.

so far, i have not seen the tubes be an issue when it comes to bending and a truss doesn't seem to be necessary. granted, there were a few people early on who had their axle tube shatter but, that was clearly a defect and was replaced under warranty. however, the axle C's do bend very easily and off road evolution has reinforcement gussets that will take care of that. but, if you really want a truss anyway, rockkrawlers has one

Do one of our forum vendors sell the rockkrawler truss?

wayoflife

well, rockkrawler is a sponsor and i'm sure they can help you out

I know that Mount Logan also has some sleeves that go into the axle tube and it effectively doubles the thicknes of the axle.

yeah, i have seen them too but as mentioned, personally don't see any need for the reinforcement. that is, not unless you plan on jumping your jeep. while the tubes are on the small side, they seem to do just fine with 35's and they seem to be holding up well with my 37's. if anything reinforcing your C's is really what you need to do more than anything as that is a proven weak point and they will bend. and, if you're gonna play really hard and with big tires, upgrading to a D60 really is the better way to go as your axle tubes bending might just be the least of your concerns.

Offroad Evolution makes them for a descent price. That's the same company that did WOL's monster suspension.

WOL, why did you go with offroad evolution and not Rock Krawler?

Not sure how I missed that...

WOL, do you know how this truss attaches to the pumpkin? I thought it was cast iron and could not be welded on.
