DirtyComanche Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Image Not Found I dunno if I should keep going. Maybe move that bolt? Or cut it all and weld in some plate? Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regger Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Personally, I think you went too far... how much clearance did you gain?... Cause now you will have leaking issues as soon as you slide back on a rock and peel your diff cover, or even just tweak it a bit.. But since you gone this far.. go further :brows: .. and then, drill and tap new bolt holes on either side. Then just make sure you use a good 1/4" diff ring around so that you won't risk peeling it off... HTH Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I have been thinking of doing this to my 14 bolt, and having the ring gear turned down... But I am still on the fence about it. I think its a great nod, if you want to increase ground clearance, with out goin up in tire size. Definately build a good difcover/skid plate though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500 MJ Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I don't see this helping the structural integrity of the pig though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 It looks thin, but it's not. I did it on a slight angle, and now the lowest spot is that bolt hole. I'm at about a 1/2"-5/8" gain now, so about the equivalent of going up 1" in tire size. I can easily get another 1/4" if I cut it all out and use some 1/2" plate instead. And 'duh' to the diff cover. They're mandatory if you drive full throttle into rocks. And there'll be a truss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
