Who out there other than TNTcustoms makes a Dana 30 Truss.......looking to see what options I have!
thanks
 
Depends on what you wanna do. Do you want a full length truss that gives you new UCA mounts or just a piece of plate that welds in between the stock mounts. I just got the Rustys truss cause I wasnt looking for a crazy over the axle setup. $25 and if you can deal with the logo cut into it then it works fine. Ive since dropped the axle on a few things that would have otherwise done serious damage and it has held up.

Don't mean to be ignorant, but what are trusses for? I just don't understand the logic behind them.

They keep your axle from smiling at you.

I have the TnT truss with the upper tracbar mount. I had to redrill the tracbar hole to fit a 1/2 bolt and also had to trim some of the passenger side upper CA mount. It was binding on the arm.

you could always go custom bottom mount truss, I got our housing from Clive but Curt LeDuc built it if you want to really spend a bit of coin, they did a superb job on it! I can get some pics if you haven't already taken care of it.

Post up Chris...lets see some pics!
 
I noticed most of racer/ prerunners run bottom mount truss while rock crawlers run them top mounted, other than clearance what are the pros/cons of both setups ?
 
That is the con, clearance.
Off road you need more clearance at the bottom of the axle. Heck I've been Baja trucks with truss top and bottom (kinda pointless I think but what do I know).

Of all the offerings I've seen, TnT seems like the best.

The only con to a bottom mounted truss is loss of ground clearance.

The only con to a top mounted truss is that they aren't as "strong" as a bottom mounted truss.
 
completely heli-arc welded chromolly plate and tube. A real nice piece of craftsmanship! It is set-up for a coilover and a bypass shock but I shouldn't have too much trouble converting it back to a single shock and coil spring.

good luck!
