I'd be more worried about the axle tubes, pretty sure they're 31 spline though.

31 spline axles with larger tubes then previous years. You have nothing to worry about Jeff.

I thought they didn't put the larger tubes until the '13 model year, was it just the 11's with that issue?

The older models are 2.8'' and the newer cars come with 3.2'' tubes.
Also welding them up, you really need to jig the housing up to ensure it doesnt warp during welding.
