The JK Dana 30 axle is considered a lightweight axle, but it is surprisingly strong and can handle a tire and wheel package that is significantly larger than stock as long as the driver goes easy on the skinny pedal. However, larger tires, lower gears, and hardcore trails can stress the axle housing to its limit.
To help keep your Dana 30 up to the task, Rusty's offers the Axle Gusset Kit. This is a 6 piece bracket kit that will reinforce the axle and add strength. Laser-cut from 1/4" thick steel, these gussets are precision formed to follow the contour of the axle and weld into place. The kit includes braces that reinforce the axle tubes, which tend to bend at the differential housing. Upper and lower brackets are also included that reinforce the inner C's, which are notorious for bending even with a small increase in tire size. Considering the price of a replacement axle housing, Rusty's Axle Truss is a small price to pay for a big strength boost!
KEY FEATURES:
• Constructed of 1/4" thick steel
• Reinforces the axle housing and the inner C's
• Highly recommended for vehicles with larger tires / lower gears
• Weld-on installation
• Made in the USA
