| I want to beef my my front axle and looking for some ideas/answers. I read on JKO about the R-SE outer sleeve. http://www.rockslideengineering.com/servlet/the-10/R-dsh-SE-Bombshell-Outer-Axle/DetailI don't know if I should do an inner sleeve also. I was also thinking about a truss for the front axle long side. I heard about PolyP having one, and Rock Krawler. http://www.rockkrawler.com/pages/catalog/index.php?r_itemID=195I need to add in some gussets also. I see that that R-SE has a inner and outer and gusset kit for $320. Should I put a truss on top of that? I saw a few other options but they involved cutting off brackets which I didn't want to do. I need to find a shop in Houston that can do this pretty quick. I can't leave the jeep since I need it for my daily driver. I assume I will also change out my axle shaft at some point too. Any advice there would be helpful too. Gears would be down the road after this. | |

| No way you'll be able to sleeve it without leaving it with someone for a day, unless George has time to do it, but he's been working like 24/7. I'd call and ask him about all that stuff. | |

| you could go with a full truss going from the pumpkin to the spring perch. add c-gussets. for extra beef you could throw a RSE outter sleeve on before the truss. also do some LCA skids while you're at it. That should more or less button up the housing. | |

| All that money and you still have a 30?!? You can find a 44 on that other forum at a good price. Or you can wait for Tim to change out his out to 60's, he's changed everything else out already! | |

Good idea. I will get this stuff together then get the info for that shop in Baytown you told me about. - lonestar rubi wrote:

| Check Ten Factory on the shafts. They will replace them when you twist'em. Hard to beat that. | |
