--- Quote from: moosin88 on April 04, 2010, 03:16:38 PM ---thanks for the compliments guys.Roger the brackets are all for Clayton 4-link long arm, I know its a little backwards from the ordinary by doing the rear and not the front but I dont wont another broken shaft :( and I had the axle so I figured I'd start here.I dont have the sway bar bracket yet I'm going to see how it handles and if it needs it i'll put in on later.Hey Rock I knew you'd like the diff shaving and smoothing I had to think of something since I'm not going to 35's until I use up the current 33's.It was pretty easy just time consuming I ground down the lip just about to the original diff cover.As for the fill I went to Lowes and bought 1/4" thick by 1 1/2" wide steel strips.The first strip I cut to run from the lip all the way up to the pinion then i cut 4 more shorter pcs and placed 2 on each side of the longer strip.I thought about using 3/8" but I wouldn't have been able to bend the end pc over to match the contours of the diff. Hope fully it all holds up, and if not I'll just have to pull the welder out and plate it some more (darn) ;D

I can see it now that you explained it! before that I was trying to figure out how you did it with one plate, or maybe you love the welder so much you just filled it all in with wire. lol
