I'm not, but I can't come up with a solution that doesn't compromise ground clearance. Still though, I don't expect to be dragging the car over anything and I certainly go slow over speedbumps already. This piece should be able to take quite a beating if it does get hit though, I wouldn't expect anything to get bent up too bad.

Subscribing. Very useful info.
This is what I got on the mail today. 3.73 gear. Both shafts included.
Due the broken bolt hole, I was thinking about making some braces like the ones for the Corvette tranny/differential to hold it to the frame:

I know this is the world's longest update, but I just wanted to let you guys know I'm still actively working on a solution to our broken diffs/wheelhop issue.
My brother and I are opening up a fabrication shop soon and I'll be disassembling my car and building jigs for parts. This will include suspension arms (like the trailing arms I've already made for forum guys) as well as differential cradles and torque arms for the stock diff and a bolt-in 8.8 solution.
I'll keep you posted on that progress, but it will definitely be a few months before that all gets set in stone.
