Default Best Aftermarket Diff Cover?
Hey guys, upgrading the rear diff cover after an incident in Clayton, OK in December. Are any of them better than others? Or is it just find the thickest one and throw it on there?

I just got a set of G2 aluminum covers. After conparing them to the ARB's I think I made the right choice. Not saying the arb's are bad but the aluminum sold me. The weight savings is obvious plus it helps keep the actual differential cooler. Had a drain plug as well.

Very easy, especially if you have the correct tools.

Search around for a" package deal". I recently got both front/rear diff's from Northridge and they pretty much threw in the set of Lubelockers.
