Default Which Differential Cover?

I have read all of the threads on pumpkin covers, and I want to be sure that they have enough clearance for my FT Ultimate kit. I saw where ARBs are beefy and have trouble fitting. Any suggestions on which ones to use so that I won't have any problems? Thanks.

I second Solid covers!

They are made for a beating! Most of the buggies run them in Werock, If they cant break them., we wont!

Will any of these covers rust? Right now, the stock cover shows quite a bit of rust after one season.

Just ordered a set of Riddlers to go on when my gears get done, whenever they come in. Riddlers will be here Friday and I plan to prime and paint with high temp paint and clear. Should look nice until the first time I whack one crawling over a parking barrier at the mall.

Yes they do need to be painted or powder coated.
