Dana30 truss

Post by tycho »

Decided to beef up the Dana 30 an Cs with a truss and gussets. Went with the Artec kit. Was good timing as I needed new hubs/bearings, ball joints (went with Synergy) and unis. Also discovered I needed a new pinion bearing :)

Big thanks to Rick and Mike at 4wd Accessories in Chch for the install.

The truss kit was US$99 from Artec and the C gussets about US$65 from Artec also. Only very minor grinding to fit around the stabiliser mount. You could install yourself if you are comfortable welding to cast steel- not cast iron. Preheat and slow cool seems to be the trick.
