Youve lost 3-5mm under the diff but ALOT under the rest of the axle, it is good to have the piece of mind tho!!
Bigger springs wont increase your under diff ground clearance .......................only bigger tires or portal axles will do that

It can still mount the same way, be just as strong and it gives loads more clearance either side of the diff.

The lowest point of the vehicle is differential, so it must be protected. I tried to show the principle of the distribution of forces in the sketch attached. The size and thickness of the shield is calculated to take the shock of up to 5000 daN.
