Stop it, there is no possible way to prevent warpage a 100%. Even with bad ass welding skills.

Yeah, because I stayed at a Holiday inn last night.
Not sure what it is about this thread.

So much mis-information about trusses is all

I'm an engineer. Everything bends. Everything. If you can't see it, just measure closer. Still can't see it... Measure even closer.
The real question is how much bend is acceptable, and what are the benefits vs. drawbacks of the process/installation.
I'll go one step further and say that every axle housing is bent right from the manufacturer. Now; I'm not implying these things are folded in half, but rather they are all "X" thousandths of an inch from being straight.
Anyhow, can we get back to talking Jeeps now?

So you don't know how to weld, but yet you know it will not bend.
Please explain
Glad to have an expert like you to set us all straight. You get it? You'll set us straight? :crazyeyes:

Yup, everything bends and everything breaks too.
Back to Jeeps, I sure would love to do some wheeling but I've got 3 of them in need of some TLC :grayno:

I can tell you this, I can weld and spent 4 days welding on synergy sleeves and an Artec armor kit including their truss and my D44 still warped. Despite installing the sleeves first and only making 3/4" stitch welds, one on each side before letting it completely cool....it still warped. Let me tell you, I sure as hell wish now I would have listened to the guys on this forum. If I would have I wouldn't have had to replace my OEM D44 with only 5k miles on it with a PR44.
What's that though that Eddie always says....hind sight is 20/20???
