Last January I had the D30 re-geared to 4.88. While I have the axle out and replacing the rear main seal it is probably a good time to do some bracing, trussing and general, all around, strengthening.

There are any number of truss, C-bracket, and heavy duty options to weld or insert. Looking for what folks here might have done they were the most happy with.

Thanks!

Haven't done it myself but these look stout.

I did the C braces on my 30. That was it...
