I see alot of people asking the question - is it safe to run 37's on a Dana 30? How about 35's? What if I truss and gusset?

Well this Dana 30 had it all- chromo shafts, truss, gussets, and locked.

IMO, The locker is the issue there. The dana 30 just shouldn't be locked up, no matter what size tires you are running.

That wouldn't have broke if you had a teraflex track bar. Guaranteed. :thumb:

What proof of anything do you have to add to this conversation besides what you have read on the Internet? Bonjour

Lol calm down dude. You are jumping on everyone because you think you know it all. People are just asking questions.

How did I say I know it all? I am just trying to show people that a Dana 30 is not as strong as they think it is.

Welcome to the forum. So you're going to run a locked d30 with 5.13 gears?

Not sure how you can "beef up" the tiny ring and pinion on a d30. That's going to be your weak link.
