i know nothing about the the whole rear support system. But the cover, from talking to quiet a few rear end shops who deal with alot of broken 8.5" rear ends, it can't hurt. when you get to the 450HP area, you have really entered the "You gotta pay if you wanna play" territory. Some of us will luck out and not experience as many probs as others. I imagine with the nitrous I am somehwere south of 600horses. 570 maybe. I know we see alot guys on here with alot of power, just they don't share the broken parts stories as much as we'd like. All the shops I talked to say the exact same thing as TurboGibbs says in post #7, it's like he called them and told them that before I talked to them. LOL
blah blah, if you are making 450+HP, and are a daily driver, I'd consider ANY thing that will make your **** last longer. Just like the shop who did my rear end says when his wife asked him how Dewey can stop breaking rear ends.
He used to race rails. He still has 2.

Hmmm for some reason I have heard of more richmond gears breaking than any other. Maybe it just because they are such a big name tho.
I had Genuine Gear brand in my old truck and they have a lifetime warranty.
4wheelparts Part number G/GG885410

My OEM gear would probably still be in my truck. After all the power adders and stuff, the extra horses didn't do mine in. It was the Video Taping of my 3 minute long doughnut/burn-out in Wal-Mart parking lot, that killed my ring gear....lol
Ahhhhh...it was fun until it went "pow"
