Sure but that also kills your clearance, just do what I said and be done with it. A buddy of mine lost 2 plugs on his rear diff this weekend alone. He's gonna weld it up this week, all 4 of them on both of his rigs. I lost a Detroit and 4.88's to this problem, sure Toyota put protection for them originally but as you can see by DTB's picture rocks will grind that smooth in no time at all.
