Thanks for the replies. The original dana in the car bent the tubes forward. I had this one built and braced from the outer end of each tube to the front of the housing. New M-W spool and axles. Another question I have for you guys running a dana is pinion shimming. Do you adjust pinion depth with the shims under the race in the housing or some other method? Every time that race is removed it has to lose some of it press fit in the housing. Thought about shims under the pinion bearing like a 12 bolt but could not find any that fit.
