weld the tubes
aftermarket axles
good spool or locker
c-clip eliminators
rear cover (girdle-used to preload)
a couple of braces from the front of the housing to the axle tube ends.(pics on the net)

Straiten the housing in a Jig before you weld it........

Replace the rear cover with a Girdle also....... They work on the 8.8 rear.
