has anyone used these trusses and if so, are they worth the money?

that thing is FUGLY:rainbow: all you need is a top bar that connects the tubes together above the pumpkin. youd be better off getting/making one like the avalanche one, where the diff cover gaurd can mount into the truss

whats the point? Just curious have you had problems bending axle housings?

i dont think that bending a tube is a very common thing, but it is better to try and prevent something like that from happening before you ruin and axle

does anyone have any pics of homemade truss's, ex. a single tube wrapping over the diff, any axle is ok

Man-I was reading this and didn't notice the dates until the last post--I'm wondering if he got that truss done after 3.5 years-lol!
