Strengthen one of the most common failure points in the Jeep Wrangler JL and Jeep Gladiator JT M210 Dana 44 front axle with our Inner C Weld-On Gusset Kit. Built from heavy-duty .250-inch steel plate, this kit reinforces the factory inner C to reduce flex and prevent deformation under hard off-road use.
Larger tires, aggressive trail driving, and increased steering loads can place significant stress on the M210 front axle housing, causing the inner C to bend or lose alignment. This gusset kit adds structural reinforcement exactly where the axle needs it most, helping maintain proper suspension geometry and long-term axle reliability.
Designed specifically for the M210 Dana 44, this kit is an essential upgrade for rock crawling, overlanding, trail riding, and high-clearance Jeep builds.
Easy Installation Design
Our gusset kit is engineered for simple and accurate installation. Each gusset keys off the existing threaded holes in the factory inner C, allowing the gusset to index into position before welding.
This design:
-
Helps ensure proper alignment during installation
-
Speeds up the welding process
-
Adds additional structural reinforcement to the inner C once installed
With minimal prep and proper welding, this kit provides a permanent strength upgrade to your front axle assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to remove the axle to install the gussets?
Not always. Many installers weld the gussets with the axle still in the vehicle, though proper prep and protection of nearby components is recommended.
Do these gussets require welding?
Yes. This is a weld-on reinforcement kit designed for permanent installation.
Will these fit the M186 Dana 30 axle?
No. These gussets are specifically designed for the M210 Dana 44 front axle found in JL and JT models.
Why does the gusset key off the threaded hole?
The design uses the factory threaded hole in the inner C as an indexing point, helping ensure the gusset is positioned correctly before welding while also adding additional reinforcement.
