Yep. If you stayed spring over with good oem springs which are zero arch you'd have to go negative arch to lower the vehicle from factory spec.

When I did mine I did not realize there were some nylon washers in there. Mine were loose enough that I think there are 2 but must have lost one. Cause of the cut out part. Hardware store had some so I installed them. Factory on left and hardware store replacement on right.

Where can one get those doo dads new? I just pulled some off the back doors at the junkyard. Figured back doors get used less, but mine still pop and clunk.

If you have 4 hole injectors already and they're clean I doubt you'll notice any difference with 12. Placebo effect maybe

My ford 8.8 rear axle just started acting strange, making a clicking noise when turning that wasnt there for the past 10k miles since I rebuilt and installed it.

I hope I didn't toast the limited slip clutch packs...should have checked it when I had the diff cover off a few weeks ago! This is exactly why I am no longer running expensive fluid in the diffs, got lucky and scored some Valvoline 85w140 for $4 a quart at Advance Auto the last time, should have stocked up but they only ever have like 3-4 bottles of the 85w140 on the shelf...

did you use the additive for LSDs when you did the fluid change?

I used Valvoline 85w140 which has it already added, and the noise persisted. So I added a bottle of the Ford XL-3 gear oil and zero change. I am going to pull the cover off this weekend again I guess.

I wish the Permatex "right stuff" gasket maker wasnt so expensive, hate waiting 12+hrs for the regular RTV to cure (tried to fill it after 4-ish hrs once and had a slow leak for the next 30k miles)
