What I'm worried about is this getting pushed sideways there's only 2 bolts on each side that hold it to the diff housing

Just an update in case anyone's considering ordering these..... the rear will require grinding to fit without contacting the factory fuel tank skid plate. The 2" lift did not solve the problem in fact the shift of drive shaft has made it worse.

Diff pumpkins are stout and after market ones are stouter, but I've hit the diff cover in a rock and caused a break in the seal causing loss of fluid. Glide plate on front diff is a very good idea.
