Shaved Rockwell Axle Housing
Rockwells are cheap, and most often easy to get. Other than the weight and large housing the other most common complaint is ground clearance. Luckily for you rockwell axle housings are super easy to shave and gain clearance under the axle.
This is a rear rockwell axle with a "mohawk" style shave.
Directly under the differential the entire bottom was cut-off and a mohawk was welded on. That means the sides have more clearance than middle but overall clearance including the middle is greater than an OEM Rockwell Housing.

This method is simple and will gain clearance but not as much as a mohawk rockwell shave.
