Sweet!
One recommendation- use an upwards facing square bolt on each side instead of a downward facing U-bolt. It'll require another part to clamp to the top of the axle, but then you wont have any bolts or extrusions out the bottom.
You can probably use some generic spring perches for the top side:

Does anything else hold it in place besides the 2 ubolts? I can't see anything at the front to keep it from rotating.
The front is still being worked on, I needed the skid installed to see what options I have. One thing I am considering is two bolts that would go up throug hthe bottom and attanch to two holes drilled into the housing but I am not sure how many people would be willing to drill the two holes. Our differentials are so large you cannot get a u-bolt around them.

Might want to use a steel strap setup.
Don't recall what the fins on the diff look like... but my gut feeling tells me there's not enough material there to bolt something to that's expected to be bashed against rocks.
I'm trying to remember a similar steel strap setup I've seen..... basically only one side would have a bolt and that's used to tighten it down.... I can visualize it, just can't remember the application...
