Is there anyone in the Kemptville/Ottawa area that could weld me a couple of gussets on the C's and reinforce the axle shaft on my Dana30 front axle? I'm running 35's now and want to avoid axle bending. I'd like to have something similar to the attached picture. If anyone is interested, name your price for labour and material and when you think it can be done. I have an 07 Wrangler JK.

Are you meaning the axle tubes?

I wouldn't recommend (nor would I even know where to begin) trying to strengthen an axle shaft by welding.

That's what I figured - but the attached pic shows gusseted inner C's - which is also what he was looking to have done.....

If your going to add a truss to the axle to prevent bending, just run it from C to C to strengthen them as well rather than just adding a gusset to the inner C. It'll be a lot stronger in the long run, although it will be harder to fab up.

Thanks, I will give Craig a call and see what he can do for me.
