Man that sucks...good to know though, as I have a similar diff cover and was hoping to someday get a rear sway bar. If I remember correctly, creederado used to have a TA rear diff cover and sway bar...not 100% sure though. (he may have had a Hotckis bar)

Yeah Holty's works fine and his is a Hotckis bar. Sucks, f-ing sucks. I am gonna see if I can find a way to put extension brackets on the sway ends . If not, I guess torch and hammer here i come. FWIW the LPW website does warn you of this. LOL

Unfortunately the sway bar and the axle tube brace are for different uses.
This is from LPW's site;
The LPW Axle-Tube Brace eliminates case distortion on any width rear end by preventing forward movement of the housing tube ends. Additional stress on bearings, axles and suspension components is also relieved, further ensuring correct wheel alignment. Maintaining proper wheel alignment increases performance and provides even tire wear. Each side of the LPW Axle-Tube Brace is independently adjustable using high-quality, right- and left-hand rod ends.
Pretty trick looking set up though don't you think

Once on the ground there is plenty of room. Just on the lift you have to sink those studs and it still hits, just barely though.
