Axle Girdle fit?

Can anyone tell me if an axle girdle cover will clear the track bar on a 12 bolt,w/ 5" drop?

At the risk of sounding like an idiot... what the heck is an axle girdle cover?

I am assuming the crossmember with the hole in it?

So is it the same as a differential cover, or is there something special about it? I see a couple of fittings on it???

Yes it will. I have an LPW Ultimate 12 cover on mine and mine sits about 5" lower than stock. It clears the track bar with no trouble.

It is a heavy cast aluminum diff cover,Those fittings are bolts that go thru the cover and touch the main caps over the diff bearings.You tighten them down with a little preload and they keep the caps from flexing.A weak link in our diffs.

Lots of off roaders use them to help strenghthen the axle.They help prevent flex in the axle bearing area.
