I called them today and they said they have sold it to customers that have DII�s and the customers claim it works (although rockware has not tried it) but you have to remove the harmonic dampener from the rear diff, I looked under my DII today and it does not look hard to remove the dampener from the diff (3 bolts). If I remove the dampener from the diff will there be any adverse effects to the DII? Thanks   Dave_Lucas (Dave_Lucas) Posted on Tuesday, March 12, 2002 - 11:34 pm:    Anyone? Please   Ron Posted on Wednesday, March 13, 2002 - 01:04 am:    do you have two bolt holes in the bottom of the dif? say ~3" apart Thats all the RW pinion guard mounts to on a DI On a DI they are BSF thread (aka whitworth) so you need special bolts.

The guy I talked to said he has installed them on DII's and you install it under the dampner so no need to remove it. I also asked about the bolts and he said they reuse the stock bolts. Well I have one on the way and will see how it works out. Does anyone know what would happen if I remove the dampner that is bolted to the rear diff? If I remove it I could get an extra inch of clearance.
