Axle brace question

[R6RaVeN37]

I have a V3 Ground Pounder, and I was wondering if it would still be a good idea to get some form of axle brace for my truck?

Did they happen to beef up/improve the axles on the V3, or are they the same as the V1 and V2?

If I should get some axle braces, could someone point me in a direction to where I can get some. Thanks.

As far as I know they didn't beef up the axles at all.

They definetly beef up the axles, I've put my truck through some serious beatings, and I've done every thing from bend the chassis, to bend and break links, and the axles never tweaked, and I have 2 extra sets from before I purchased the braces and never needed them, more than likely never will! They have a history of snapping by the pumpkin if bashed or jumped too hard! I would get them and just forget about it! Peace of mind! !

Thanks for the input and info guys. I checked out the braces, and unfortunately I dont think they will work for me with the way I currently have my truck set up. I swapped the brackets on the axles where the shocks and lower four link attach, which pushes them further out towards the ends of the axle. I did this to give the truck some more stability. All the braces seem to have those mount points in the stock position, so they wont fit on my truck, with the exception of maybe the ones that metalicagod makes. Cant really tell from the pictures though. I may just have to come up with something.
