Rearend covers

Hey Guys,
Who are you using for covers on the rearend. I had to send my Hypertec back because the bar would not allow the fit.
Thanks for your help!
Alvin

I didn't realize Hypertec made a diff cover. You may want to try one like I have. It is made by Mag-Hytec. Modifying the rear sway bar mounts is required.

yep, they look good.



As easterisland said, you have to modify the sway bar. I just rotated mine up by a suggestion from someone on this board... might have been you easterisland, don't remember.

Can you tell any difference is how the truck rides after rolling the bar up?

What was involved in moving the bar up?

Thanks for your help with this, I will order mine today.

all I did was undo the endlinks on the roll bar and rotate it up and drill a new hole in the frame. If you look in the background, you can see the angled endlink and the bolt sticking through the frame.
Did not notice any handling difference, but I don't road race. But I am sure there is some. The shorter endlinks I heard others talk about for lowered trucks might accomplish the same results, but couldn't tell you for sure.
