Default JK bolt on front axle truss housing crossover?

Is there any such thing as a plate that would go between the diff cover and diff or be an integrated cover/cross over for a truss? Like 1/4 or 3/16 plate ring with bolt cutouts sandwiched between the two that allowed an easier and stronger tie together than welding to the cast? If it could be combined with the artec truss...

I thought maybe you would look at the site. Here is the direct links to the JK 44 cover. Dana 44 bolt pattern is the same for any dana 44.

my buddy has the rear for his tj on a d60 and it seems ok, he did reinforce the axle tube tie ins though.

I personally am not a fan of tying stuff to the dif cover (ram mounts,trusses ect.) Id rather weld to the housing.
