Fit and finish of these products is excellent. If you have some fab skills its a Fairly easy install if you have the 392 Wrangler with the Aluminum oil pan you will definitely need to extend the bump stop or you will damage your oil pan

Exceeded my expectations. No trimming or fitting needed. Fit like a glove. I would recommend painting the insides prior to welding as there is not access afterwards.

I purchased the D30 front axle truss for my 2018 JL. I am a long term traveler on the back-roads of the US and often come up to washboard roads that makes the entire Jeep rattle to my bones. I dont rock crawl or some such and found the D30 to be adequate for my needs. However in the middle of nowhere I like to have some peace of mind that the front axle wont bend or crack and so I got the truss to provide some added strength to the axle. The installation was done by a friend of mine who is an expert in welding and it took about 5 hours--we went very slow and methodical. The pieces of the truss are very nicely made and they fit perfectly--the measurements were right on This is not the sort of product you see it at work since it provides strength but it is not something you can palpably see at work. I do however feel a lot more peace of mind for my travels which will start again in early April. For the price and the quality of the manufacturing and design and fit its a 5 Star product.
