Install the engine protector and shim the diffs.

I'm sure your XL will have the X engine protector that does not reach the rear body post.
Here's a vid I made showing how to mount it with the spare body mount that should come with the truck.

Shim the diffs to make them stronger.

Sealing the engine will save you from headaches later.

Do hobby shops do these reinforcements, for a obvious fee?
