Hey Jared, truck is looking sweet. Had my own ideas about the cover being a bandaid without replacing the carrier too. Will be looking to get one of these covers when I replace the G80. Who found the best deal on one of these covers? Looks like there are several places to buy one.

Here is another question, now that you bring it up. If I was to install an Eaton or Detroit Locker carrier, and one of these support covers, with some 4:10 gears. Has anyone broke an axle shaft after beefing up their rear end?
