I am swaping in a HP D44 and a 9" into mt Jeep. The 9" is simple to truss, but would like some ideas/pics of trussing a front HP D44. Thanks ! :clappy:
Pics would be great.

I've seen two come through his shop that the housing was flexed enough to cause problems. One in his Neighbors YJ, and another in a Fullsize K5. And these guys don't wheel hard by any means.

I am swapping in the HP D44 for a D30. I will be running 39.5 " IROKS. I want to truss it for structural strenght. Thot, "I got it on the floor, what can I do to make it stronger." It is getting fitted with a Detroit, 5.38 gears, hi zoot inners and outers, and anything else I can think of to make it "BEEFY". Thanks for all the help/pics ! It will help alot ! So, you are saying, that for "normal" rockcrawling on a "light"(97TJ) rig, the D44 does not need to be trusses, it is strong enough as is ? Again, Thanks for all the input ! :beer:Jaydog said:Are you talking a truss for structural, or a truss for your upper control arms to attach to?

I have been running a 36X12.5 SS SX on the D30 (warn inners an outers and trussed) for years now.
