Question for lowered guys - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jb4short · 07-17-2008, 04:29 PM

I got a new Spectre Racing differential cover in from Jeg's today (12 bolt). With the truck lowered the cover is too deep (wants to be where the panard bar is). Does anyone know a high quality cover (billet, cast aluminum, etc.) for the GM 12 bolt that's not as deep (needs to be within one inch of stock depth)?

BTW: look for a beautiful cover in the FS section

John,
does it have the tracbar relocated to the bottom of the control arm?? Don't know if it will make a difference but it might. Seems I remember seeing something about this issue in a previous thread.

Yes DeWayne... but looking at the panard bar it wouldn't matter if it were in it's original location. With the 6" drop the panard bar crosses the center of the diff cover rather than across the top.

I believe CPP or ECE makes a 'curved' panhard bar that clears those deep aluminum style pumpkin covers.

I have a T/A aluminum cover that hits my panard bar. I have ground a small amount away on the cover to have just the slightest gap. I like the cover - just wished I didn't have to grind on it.
