Weld the axle tubes 360* around the center, solid spacer, diff cover with the bearing cap preload, billet main caps(not sure if they are still available), main bearing cap studs instead of bolts. T/A was the originator of the cover ,but they also make private label versions for a bunch of people.

Just to clarify- If you call and order that part number you will get 400# springs unless you specify otherwise. The 19559 is the off-the-shelf part number, but they still use it as the base for the 800# units. The springs are the only thing they need to change, unless you go with carbon fiber clutches .
