Not sure if it is just the pics or not, but is the front axle slightly curved (bent)?

It does look bowed up on the sides in that one picture....

Probably just distorted from the wide-angle lens the picture was taken with.

Example: Image
Looks like the buildings are leaning inward.

And bend it you will,more so since it was bent once already.Common downfall of the D30 axle,it bends very easily with big tires and offroad use.

It might not bend again (at least not right away) if you truss the hell out of it

Yeah but it needs to be trussed or sleeved,not doing that will allow it to bend easy again.
