Personally c gussets would be the first thing I would get. I put mine on before I ever had a lift. Also I like the outer sleeves that go around the axle tube making the tube as thick as d60. I've never had a problem with the tubes bending... It's all about how you drive Everyone told me 42s and factory axle was retarded, but they were wrong

I've seen a silver Unlimited here locally with the C's gusseted. Looked good.
holy crap your still alive?!

Why didn't you wheel with us this weekend?

Do you have lifetime warranty? I have heard of the dealers wanting to get people to give up their Jeeps to get the lifetime warranties off of the road.

. . . but not until you got one or two new replacement axles if I remember correctly. I was incensed when reading that the dealership "suggested" you were being a bit rough on the drive train (No where in the owner's manual does it say we can't fly our Jeeps).
