yes, if you are not aware of its function, it basicly hold the diff in place... no hop, and no broken diffs.... email me at rxrotary2_7@yahoo.com for more pics/info.

How about a Tranny Brace/Diff brace combo? I'd be willing to put the money down for both if the quality's right.

So in theory if this were used the stock LSD wouldnt be ripped apart by wheel hop due to the absence of it? Would one still need to upgrade their LSD?

What happens when you bottom out !? Looks like this thing sticks down by an 1" or two... which is 1" too much for me ? Will it damage anything (frame?) that it's bolted to when catching... ??? Or is there something lower that protects it ???

it doesnt hang down any lower than the original OEM tunnel brace that this takes the place of. have you ripped that one off?
in all honesty. F%@# the trany brace! that thing causes MAJOR noise that gets to be very annoying. i wont even make one because i dont want to tortue people like that, and i dont want to say it doesnt make noise when it infact does...
i would still replace the torson diff with a clutch type. the TII unit fots right in there.
