AMC 20 axle truss ?

broncoman604 · 03-23-2004, 06:23 PM

Going to truss the axle tubing after it spun about a 1/8 inch , Already have the tube turned back and am getting ready to use 2X4 tubing to build a truss on top of axle but not sure how far out to go, towards the end of the housing. Thinking of going all the way out to 1 1/2 inchs from the backing plate , but is it worth the hassle or sould i stop before the ubolts?
