If you have one that uses the original cone cover on top of the crossmember you can drill a hole to let the oil drain back into t-case. Check out the stock cone and you will see the little return channel and if you look at t-case you will see the return hole. Use the cone as template to locate hole on AA crossmember and drill a 3/16 hole. Stopped all leaks from the cone on numerous rigs where we found the hole was neglected on original install.

I didn'tt have room to use the studs without a lot of cutting on the floor pan.

Why would that make a diffference??
