I'm getting ready to weld on some LCA skids to my rear Dana 44. I'm checking to see if there are any other brackets on the axle that should be reinforced or braced while I have the axle out of the vehicle. If there are any pictures of such it would be most helpful, thank you.
Dana 44 bracket reinforcements?

I personally wouldn't (and did not) bother adding any reinforcements like gusseting, braces, sleeves, etc. to the axles.
If you have a significant lift, it may be worthwhile to re-clock the shock mounts if you're using shock mount extension brackets.
You could always swap to a weld-on trackbar relocation bracket. Some of the pure bolt-on ones add a lot of extra stress. The RockJock bracket is a hybrid design that takes a weld.
