Re:

I'd just weld a strap to the stock diff cover and run it.

Here is my ruff stuff. It's not easy for anyone to make one of these because of how tight the housings are in general

I ran one from BTF. It did well, and was reasonably priced.

Nitro makes one too

thanks guys, ruff stuff diff looks good but don't want to spend money, blue torch does not have one fo a j80
and the nitro is aluminum, good price on the nitro one. I will use some 1/4 plate build it and weld one on

They did a few years ago. Give them a call. It was around $100

Yeah, mine was actually on a 62 rear. But same rear I'm pretty sure. Just not sure if the 80 is offset...
