I dunno if I should keep going. Maybe move that bolt? Or cut it all and weld in some plate?

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...

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

I don't see this helping the structural integrity of the pig though...

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.

Yup.
