In case anybody was wondering how these look. I’ll be installing this weekend and doing some spirited driving afterwards I’ll let you guys know what I think about it.

What does this fix/improve? I never heard of this one.

Strengthen diff case, help with wheel hop and increase rear end bite. Most people recommended DIRS diff brace but I’m holding off to see if having one actually helps. This one was about $200 less than DIRS..

Diff brace helps hold the case together, yes

With rubber mount, slotted holes, and bolts that you can barely tighten, it does not do much to hold the housing in place tho

If I were only going to change one thing back there it would be to lock out the housing

Just put this on. Looks like it might do the job.
I really like the yoke clamp.

@SPDBoat A Diff Brace is a Mod that I call "The Best Peace of Mind" part you can install.

Without it and the Diff box breaks. It can take out the Driveshaft, and or a half shaft!
I know because I did!

Take some pictures while you are installing the brace, we'll be looking for ward to your thoughts!

So waste of money?

Never mind I just saw your build sheet! If this doesn’t hold up that’s the one I was considering next

I have seen lot's of satisfied customers that installed TBAs

If you are going to do any Hard Launching It's the Peace of mind that is important!

No, it serves a purpose

I think a lot of people expect it to firmly locate the housing in the cradle. Torque on the 2 bolts the go into the cradle (via slotted holes) is less that 20 ft lb and there is rubber between it and the cradle

It is a case brace. It reinforces the case. It doesn’t solve the problem that the oem rubber case bushings create (movement) (lots)

Forgot most people have normal weekends, I don’t and today was my Saturday but here you go lol. Took about 45-hr do to just trying to get the smaller bolts to line up correctly.
