funny brackets on my used 8.8" rear end can you identify?
The rear end has these funny brackets that are attached to the axle ends with a u-bolt and appear to back up the bolts holding the caliper brackets. They are all rusted up and I can replace them but I question their need. Anyone know what they are for and if I can send them back to the scrap yard? As always, thank you very much,

Anti moan brackets, huh? Could have fooled me. I thought they were just more Ford bling!! I will leave them in service if you say so. The axle is a 96 w/ 3.27 ratio. I am not building a race car, just a nice little ('33) cruiser for momma and me. The axle width is approx 60.25. I did pull off the tone rings which I hope is OK for this setup? Any input is always welcome. Thanks gents
