I think they are really proud of it.

My vote would be not worth it, I shaved mine pretty far and it was free well bought a new cover, but I just ground it off. Next time I wouldn't do it as far as I did.

What happens when you want to change gears or yours break then what do you do? cant just go get aother set.

good point. how much clearance did you gain with the normal shave?

 

[kgblazerfive]

2 inches maybe

What does that give you?

 

[lak2004]

2 inches because you are shaving so much off and then welding that plate back on which seems counter efficient.

Seems like a waste, grind the lip off and be done.

plus wouldnt it make your ring gear a little weaker taker material off of that?

You would think, but is probably thick enough not to worry

You would have to buy 2 sets of gears and taylor them to fit the housing.

They sell pre machined gears

I plan on getting this shaving kit for the 14 bolt I buy
