Is that muffler blowing right on the shock? I would think the heat from that would eventually fry it? It kinda looks like a ricer muffler...lol
Diff covers look great, what are they mad of? Something like 1/4in plate?

Very nice...I picked up one for the 14 bolt rear and will later get one for the 60 front. I think you should be able to bounce off rocks with no problem.
Have you trimmed that 14 bolt any?

I see you got the ones where they didn't grind their welds smooth. I like the look of those much better. Well done welds are PRETTY!!!!

The covers have a 3/8 in ring and the cover part is 1/4. I love them. I haven't shaved my diff at all with the 39.5 I have the about same clearance as before with 44 and 37 in tires. As far as the shock haven't had any problems. I just need to rejet the thing is running rich.

There is only on u-bolt the other side has two bolts that go into the housing. This is how the Dana 60 holds the springs onto the housing.

Slightly off-topic, but... has anyone seen those D44 diff coveres made out of torched-and-drilled Ford TTB housings?

Looks awesome man. I've seen those diff covers made in person. Lots of work go into those babies.
