    Has anybody tried to fit a blue torch fab 8" kryptonite diff cover on the 8.4" diff? I really like the look of the diamond housing. All the others just lack style points IMO. I might just purchase one and test it out. Chime in if you've done this or know of a good looking full cover protection.

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    As far I know it wont fit. I had one on my old axle and I remember someone saying they tryed to fit on the 8.4 with no luck. Im sure you can modify it to come close but you might just end up hacking it up doing so.
