God this sounds like the time I was trying to find a very specific 3rd brake light. I ordered from like 10 different sites and waited months and months. Back ordered forever. Finally some guy on ebay got 300+ in stock lol. Fresh batch straight from china!

Dont go jinxing me..... I am going to be prepared for the worst when i go to install it.... Cant remember if it was my truck or another one i did a while back about same time, that the guy helping me dropped one of the cast shims and broke it in half, and didnt have a way to get home that night, and the install kit didnt have shims.... So if anything looks out of sorts im going to pull it down and check bearings and shims.... And double check backlash and all that while i am there, been probably 12-15 years since i built the rear diff!!!

Never to late to fix it haha. The covers are very nice and the one I had was really cheap. It wasnt a girdle tho just a cover.

Theyre designed to go between the block and the spring perch on the axle tube... We shall see....
