I did bend up a stock non back braced 8 3/4 housing up in my Duster with ladder bars, it ended up breaking the ladder bar brackest oof of it on a run The car was talking to me, the right side axle had to be driven in with a block of wood and a hammer I had that housing narrowed and out a 35 spline spool and axles in it, stupid me didn't listen to the car When in doubt, about anything(especially women )on race cars, check it out, it is probally not correct or right
