Default Riddlers

I went with Riddler's. I don't have a Rubicon so would not have the grinding issue. But if I did, I would not want to purchase an item and have to do a modification to make them work. But that's just me.

I really like my solids, the price is fantastic too. The Allen (fill plug) required for mine wasn't anything special. I had several of them in the tool box, I want to say a 3/8ths. I had no issues with the allen fill plug.

I use ARB too. They appear to have a lower profile than Riddler or Solid. The screws on the ARB are also lower profile than the others and less likely to have the screw head scraped down on the lower screws. The magnets and dip stick are also a plus on the ARB.

You can't beat the solids in price. 130 for a pair compared to over 200 for anything else worth while.

Both riddlers and ARB's are awesome.

Also a little plug here. Both of them are on sale @ northridge4x4

Give us a call for the special pricing.

Not entirely true... My Full Traction adjustable track bar rubbed my front D44 Riddler cover this weekend at JKFest. Left some scratches on the diff covers but no damage. Shopping for a different track bar ...

The Riddlers did do their job though... I took a few hits on rocks and just the paint was scratched..no dings...these things are beefy !!!

The adjustable arms are set right at 23" to yield 5 degrees of castor.

I got the SOLID and I like it alot. Was going to order the riddlers from NR but I they had the solid at a 4x4 shop I was at getting some diff gear oil and I couldnt ignore the price they were on sale for. I will say as someone stated earlier, drove around for 2 1/2 hours trying to find a 14mm allen bit, but other than that I love it. went wheelin last weekend and it took a hit and did absolutley no damage. I'd get the riddlers from Dave, especially if they are on sale and I see you have a rubi. plus free shipping, cant beat it.
