diff armor is it worth it to buy?? and what about the ball gusset/top axle gusset?? thank you

[crazy white boy]

diff armor is a must. you'll wish you had it when you put a rock into your ring gear. the others are worth it they will help from bending your housing if you runnin big tires and doin some serious rock crawlin

diff armor is definitely worth it, but it i did it again I'd shave the axles and just build my own high clearance diff cover (and i might do that with my spare front and rear axles along with some other stuff  )

ya i figuerd that i was a good idea to order diff armor. dose the rear axle need to be gusset or dose it not need it?? Thank you guys for helping a newbie with some dumb ? hahaha

I've never run diff armour, and never hurt my diff, they are not thin by any means but like anything they are not bullet proof either. I've thought about it but it's not high on my to-do list. Now the ball gussets are a good idea, all it takes is one lapse of judgement and you can bend the housing at the very point in question since it is the weak link. The rear housing is fairly strong as it sits and I have never bent one. Most front axles except the 1st few years already have one for the housing, and again the biggest concern is the narrow section right after the bell.

for the little money you spend on it, its worth the peace of mind
