A truss would be easy to add now! IRO has a good D44 truss. 99$ I put it on my D44 and like it a lot.

i wish i had the skills and equipment to do it to the 30. that's the one i'm more worried about... i think i'll do the 44 over the winter. along with some other stuff (cage maybe?)

how's the new house?

Nice... That's true but you're running 35's so that axle swap was pretty much needed... In my case I could probably lock front and rear without re-gearing or doing a swap

i couldn't of gone to the same gearing i have with an 8.25 ..... and you could... and you totally should lock both. in a year or so i'll change to full case lockers. these little things just seem to pewny for my liking, and noise and the front one kinda locks or unlocks pretty violently on sharp turns on the street

Right on, the front is more complicated, but your could use a 2x4/2x6 square tube and truss the bottom side, it would be less work but would get in the way a little more...

Its great, how about yours?

i'm runnin 4.88 gears

that's the way to do it. cuz then you have an excuse, you already have the 35" tires, so now you have to make the rest of the jeep compatible for them lol
