Axle truss?

I'm liking this cover.

That looks like some serious beef there. And clean looking too.
That would offer some support too, but the ones that specifically preload the bearing caps have what look like studs with jam-nuts sticking out of them, just over the areas where the carrier bearings are inside.

I looked at the girdles but I can't find a steel one.

Ive seen 2- 8.8's wrecked due to bearing cap flex. Both were hard core users one racer, one wheeler. It wouldn't be too hard add them to a steel cover.
If you have to go to aluminum it would be worth it.
