What else to reasonably beef up front D30?
I have the Tera sleeves and upper C gussets on my front D30 to try and keep it alive as long as possible. Wheeling is medium as my JK is set up for expedition use mainly. The rest of the axle is stock (I also have the JKS trackbar brace). What else should I consider beefing up a bit on the axle/front end to bring remaining components in line with the more robust axle?
Thanks!!!!
Thanks!!!!

Wouldn't adding chromo shafts make the weak link the 4.88 gears in the D30. Would it not be smart to leave stock axle shafts because they are cheaper to replace if they break than the r & p?
I'm still learning so I look forward to reading your input.

WOL, I'm still trying to figure out what I would do if I was in a similar situation, so all of your input is greatly appreciated.

I have all stock front end with d30 and 35s. Looking at 37 but wanting to add something up front before hand. I am thinking gussets and front drive shaft and that's it or am I wrong here?

Thanks for the input thus far. New shafts are next in line, I just was not able to get them done with the sleeves and gussets. This will be about as far as I will go with the D30
