rear end girdle?

thats a pic for a ford 8.8

with the diff bearing flex issues we have i personally think this would be a tremendous improvement for the car. i havent looked under mine yet to see the setup but i believe a properly setup girdle system would be even stronger than the comptech setup.

It would replace the rear cover.

It would take an all new back cover casting. The production costs would be much higher than the Comptech reinforcement straps.

Diff Technics Nissan conversion is the current bulletproofing setup, replacing most of the OEM components with much larger Nissan and custom built pieces.
