Solid axle, do I need a Front Differential Mount?

Hey all.

I have a B2000 with a 4x4 rear axle and a TII LSD stuffed inside. Do you think I need to fab up a front differential mount, or will the axle tube be sufficient to hold things in place?

my dad used to have a B2000, we beat the hell out of that thing...

now what does this have to do with RX7's again?

most trucks use leafs and require no differential mounts.

Well, it's a RX7 long pinion diff. I'm curious if the long pinion design necessitates a diff mount, or if it's just the IRS?

no i dont see why you would need the diff mount...the leaf packs should stop any movement
