Are the just as good as the whole cover ? and how do they install do you bolt on , or what double side tape ?
Just curious as if they can take a hit the same as full covers can with out damage ? im thinkin of getting these for the same price . I hope their ok for a stock jeep dana 44s and dont hit the track bars or anything if they (stick out to far ) anyone know for sure ?
thanks

Also have the AEV skid for the rear diff and the Rancho diff skid up front. The Rancho diff skid is all you'll need for the front. I wouldn't even bother with a cover for the front stock axle. Rock tested and zero problems.

You'll lose about 10/16ths of an inch if you use the Rancho skid. Your tie rod already protects most of the front cover. I've got a Synergy chromoly tie rod so no problem there....
The 2 other pics are the rear D44 with a Superlift Aluminum cover to complete the look of my all aluminum rear end and an AEV diff skid to allow it slide easier and protect the efficient rzeppa joint.
