Rear axle truss

Hey guys. Has anyone here built or bought a truss for your 8.8??? I am going to be welding the tubes on mine before I install it, but wondering if doing a truss would be worth it?? Been concidering building one or buying one.. The axle has almost everything else we can do to them except for a truss and skid. Don't think I need a skid, but a truss... Maybe... So, what's your thoughts? Will welding the tubes to the housing be enough or do we need to do a truss also?
