Finally got around to swapping from 3.21s to 3.92s also went ahead and got the MAG-HYTEC cover. Did have to make a small half circle notch for clearance at the top. Very pleased though..looks beefy and really completes things back there!..next thing is to cut the bump stop cups out and add just a bump stop for that CLEARANCE issue. Side note she's approaching 1 years old and came along way[emoji14] cf8b76e1d61139dd7bd612f1a7626f55.jpg29abcd1bcc8a8afe3cc8ef85ea249984.jpg

How was installing the Gears? You set the pinion depth and backlash yourself?

When I installed my MAG-HYTEC on my 16 I didn't have to do any cutting. It seems to fit just fine. I wonder if they may have changed them a little bit since then??????????? Your looks great!!!

Had to be cut because I have close to a 6" drop in the rear..if you were stock or just plain 2/4 drop no cutting is needed I would imagine.

Are you running the factory track bar? If not how is the clearance. I have a cover as well but want to change the fluid cover and upgrade the track bar and rear upper and lower control arms at the same time. Many have stated it's very close fitment. I would like to beef up the bar. I also bought better end links for the heliwig sway.

Running the adjustable bar and yes stock arms but relocation brackets from illicit cuts. It is a tight fit but everything buttons up perfect
