MrP. I have seen and built some cradles on the back of Danas to attempt to keep them from bending tubes. The nice covers with the "load bolts"......you fab up a bracket that attaches to those. Then you run some pieces of tubing with heims from this fabbed bracket out to more brackets toward the end of the housing. Preferably you have left and right heims in the links, so that you can actually preload the housing a little, in an attempt to keep it from bending forward. Does it help.....YES.........Is it heavy...YES.....Make the rear hard to work on......YES.....Does it totally solve the problem.....NO

You guys can hash it out from here




I figured they would use that cast cover with the bolt
holes in it and add on to that... I would have guessed
that cover to be a bit pricey... but I never seen
one made.. but like I said.. I'm sure its done
