Goodmorning WAL!
Been wondering if i understood correctly about DANAs and whatnot. The wallet isnt ready to drop serious moneys for new front and back and I got the 30s geared at 3.73 from the factory. Thats fine for now as im going to run 33s for a while as its fresh from the factory. Eventually going to go up to 35s but that wont be for a few years at least given the type of usage shes going to go through at first.
that being said im comfortable keeping the Dana 30s for quite a while.... BUT.... given that the wheeling is only going to get harder along the years I want to make sure its going to last.
So to keep in budget im thinking of reinforcing it and from what I gather C qussets would be a good way to start. also just started looking into a truss? I understand the gearing and understand the difference between the danas but I dont fully grasp the concept of beefing up them up.
im not about to drop a few grand on new danas compared tothe few hundred to beef up the 30! and like I said for the wheeling im going to do... its not necessary...yet. but making sure the dana 30 is going to hold up better than stock would give me great peice of mind.
more loooking for confirmation that c gussets and truss would be a good start. if someone could explain the use of a truss that would be great. as luck may have it, at work I have access to WAL but nothing else on the internet haha so my searching capabilities are VERY limited to say the least.
thanks in advance guys! :beer:
