Default Which Diff cover/Girdle for Yukon/Tahoe??

Swapped a bunch of parts out of my 1500 into the wife's Yukon last month. My T/A "low profile" diff cover would not clear the track bar.

Do you guys know of any brand of rear diff girdle for the 10 bolt 8.6 diff that clears the track bar on the Yukon/Tahoe or Yukon XL/Suburban chassis?

Thanks in advance.

Not only that but if you have after market sway bars like I do makes it even harder for them the clear the sway bars and panhard bar... I'll be taken my rear end apart here shortly and would like to know what actually clears

No matter the brand pretty much all of the girdles I have seen are the same. I never realized it would be an issue.

Whats in store for the truck that you're taking parts off it?

AK, you ever find a solution to this?

I know that the cover has no clearance at all, you cant even slide the stock cover off without taking the panhard off

This might be a wild idea, as i haven't closely looked at how much room the stock panhard takes, but maybe an aftermarket solid pan-hard bar might clear more room...

Who knows
