Here are some pictures of our Ford 8.8 Diff Cover. It comes with mounting hardware.
I snapped a few pictures of a Dana 60 cover today. I ships with a fill plug and mounting bolts.
UCF TJ Low-Profile Transmission Mount
The fact that the factory transmission mount for a Jeep Wrangler TJ is 1 3/4″ thick leaves a lot of room for a slimmer design. We have been prototyping a setup that will reduce that thickness to about 3/4″ overall. This would allow the use of our standard skid plates without a body lift.
The design relies upon a rubber bushing mounted to the side under the front output yoke. It is aided by the use of a thin rubber sheet between the two “leafs” to prevent any sag that may occur over time. The prototype is fabricated of 5/16″ thick carbon steel plate. It will require a small amount of grinding on the factory transmission mount bracket to clearance a flange.
We should be completing the prototyping phase in the coming week and have the product for sale on the website on the website later this month. This product will be available for sale as an upgrade option on our skid plates or separately. It can be used with several of the other high clearance skid plates now on the market with almost no modifications.
Ford 8.8 HD Diff Cover
Ford 8.8 HD Diff Cover (Welded or DIY Kit)
We have redesigned the fabricated steel diff cover to be earier to assemble. The one piece folded steel body is laser cut from 1/4″ steel plate. Professionally welded in our fabrication shop by our experienced welders.
Ships with mounting hardware. You will need to spray paint the outer surface.
UCF Ford Dana 60 Truss System w/ Double-Ended Ram Mount
This is one of those parts that are almost required when building a custom suspension on a leaf-sprung Ford Dana 60 front axle. It provides a rock-solid point to mount your upper suspensions links and double-ended steering ram. No more welding to cast steel housings. Just install the diff cover, set the perch pad bracket in the spring perch, put the truss body in place on the tube and weld it all up. I looks more complicated than it is. Instruction set coming soon.
This truss system will come with a Dana 60 Diff Cover and an extra tab that has to be welded to the cover before the cover is installed. This tab is what ties the truss system to the cover itself.
The size of the link tab platform is 4 1/8″ x 20 1/2″. The size of the ram mount platform is 6 1/4″ x 13 1/4″. The distance from the link mount platform to the centerline of the axle tube is 6 7/8″.
Laser cut from 1/2″ thick carbon steel plate, the truss body is heavy enough for any amount of horsepower. The inner support gussets are made from 3/8″ steel plate. The skid on the front of the ram mount and the rear cover plate are 1/4″ steel plate.
Truss hardware not included (diff cover hardware is included). You will need to provide (3) 1/2″ bolts and nuts. Shipped bare of paint so you can weld it on, place your link tabs and steering ram, and weld it all up.
UCF Corporate 14 Bolt Pinion Guard
UCF Corporate 14 Bolt Pinion Guard
The UCF 14 Bolt Pinion Guard is a great little piece of insurance that can save your wheelin’ trip for a small amount of money. It is laser cut from 1/4″ thick carbon steel plate and formed from one piece of material. It is then fully welded on the outside edges to make it hold its shape under the full weight of your rig. Fits any yoke size. Installs in minutes. Ships bare of paint without hardware. Reuse your factory bolts.
Chrysler 8.25 HD Diff Cover
We have redesigned the fabricated steel diff cover to be easier to assemble. The one piece folded steel body is laser cut from 1/4″ steel plate. Professionally welded in our fabrication shop by our experienced welders.
Ships with a fill plug and mounting hardware. You will need to spray paint the outer surface.
I have added sub-categories to all 3 material varieties of transfer case skids. These sub-categories are listed as “No Body-Lift Skids”. All of the skids located in these categories are 1″ deeper than standard to allow them to be installed without a body-lift.
These skids offer all the same advantages as their “higher-clearance” cousins except that they are a little deeper. An added advantage is that you probably will not need to add a Slip-Yoke Eliminator or CV Drive Shaft if you don’t already have one. All of our transfer case skids gain 1″ more ground clearance than the lift they induce to the drivetrain. It is possible that the added drivetrain lift will induce vibrations, but not as likely as with the standard tummy-tucker listed on the website.
They are listed for sale at the same price.
UCF Chevy Dana 60 Truss System w/ Double-Ended Ram Mount
UCF Chevy Dana 60 Truss System w/ Double-Ended Ram Mount
This is one of those parts that are almost required when building a custom suspension on a Chevy Dana 60 front axle. It provides a rock-solid point to mount your upper suspensions links and double-ended steering ram. No more welding to cast steel housings. Just install the diff cover, set the perch pad bracket in the spring perch, put the truss body in place on the tube and weld it all up. I looks more complicated than it is.

UCF 14 Bolt Truss System
This is one of those parts that are almost required when building a custom suspension on a Corporate 14 Bolt axle. It provides a rock-solid point to mount your upper suspensions links. No more welding to cast steel housings. Just set the truss body in place on the tubes, bolt-on the removable pinion support bracket (bolts to the truss body with FIVE 1/2″ bolts, not included) and weld the truss to the axle tubes.
The size of the link tab platform is 4 1/2″ x 13 1/2″. The distance from the platform to the centerline of the axle tube is 6 3/8″.
Laser cut from 1/2″ thick carbon steel plate, the truss body is heavy enough for any amount of horsepower. The pinion support bracket is made from 3/8″ steel plate.
Hardware not included. Shipped bare of paint so you can weld it on, place your link tabs, and weld it all up.
14 Bolt Full Floater Disk Brake Brackets
The UCF 14 Bolt Full-Floated Disk Brake Brackets make quick work of upgrading the brakes on your old Corporate 14 Bolt. They bolt directly to the backing plate flange and allow you to use the common and inexpensive front caliper and rotor from a 71-86 GM 3/4 ton truck.
They are laser cut from 3/8″ carbon steel plate and bent to the correct offset to avoid longer bolts and spacers (which can lead to failure). They ship in bare unpainted steel without mounting hardware as you can re-use the factory bolts to attach the bracket and the caliper bolts come with the caliper.
We will be adding a several new products to the online store very soon.
UCF would like to anounce the addition of the UCF HD Dana 60 Diff Cover and the UCF 14 Bolt Full-Float Diff Cover. These new diff covers, like the other diff covers we offer, will be fabricated from 1/4″ carbon steel plate. They will ship with mounting hardware and fill plugs (where applicable). These differential covers represent the best value in the industry for heavy-duty diff protection.
We will also be adding a new category to the store. They come in the form of the UCF 14 Bolt Truss System and the UCF Dana 60 Truss System with Double-Ended Ram Mount. UCF Truss Systems are a great value. They will be fabricated from very heavy carbon steel plate. The main truss body and other load bearing components will be laser cut from 1/2″ plate and bent to the desired shape on a CNC brake. The supporting members will be made from 3/8″ and 1/4″ plate. They will all be supported either from the included UCF HD Diff Cover or pinion support. These truss systems are a must have for any custom suspension project.
Expect to see them listed on the website later this week!
It has come to my attention that there are lots of people out there that want no part of installing a small body lift to make room for our high-clearance skid plates.
In response to some requests for another option to accomodate a “No body-lift tummy tuck” we will be building any of our Transfer Case Skids in a slightly deeper configuration. We will add 1″ of total height to the skid. This will provide 1″ of ground clearance to a ‘97-02 model or 1 1/2″ of clearance to the ‘03-06 model. It will also add strength, ramped front an rear edges, a smooth flat surface to skid along on; and in the case of the 6061-T6 Aluminum skid, save weight over the factory shovel.
If you are looking for a Transfer Case Skid like this, simply order the standard skid on the website and COMMENT on the order to send a DEEP skid for use without a body lift.
These will be strictly “made to order”, so please allow a couple extra days for delivery.
