I run solid front/rear. $65 a piece you can't beat them. They're beefy af. I run the RK track bar with 1.5" Dom tie rod and have no contact. Lube lockers are awesome too. I've had mine on/off 4 times and they still seal perfect.

The solid covers do seem like you get a lot for the price which is always welcome in my book and it's great to hear no additional work is needed.
I'm currently leaning in this direction of preferences.
1. Mopar front/rear covers (I found them for $154 ea.) $308 total.
2. Solid front/rear covers $130 total (edited)
3. TF front/rear covers $180 total
The Mopar are higher in price in comparison but within my comfort zone. So I may go the Mopar route. I like the way they look. I like the prices on the Solid and TF however for what you get.

Damn you're leaning towards mopar for double the price because the way they look....on something that gets hit off rocks.. Wish I had that kinda money lol! Especially when they look identical to the solid except say "jeep" lol

The thing I don't particularly like about the solids are the color. Everything else is painted black underneath. I might have to buy an additional $8 worth of spray paint if I go with the Solids.

How About G2?
I have G2 Axleshafts and a G2 Hammer Cover.
I wanted a Torque Cover but they don't make one for the D44
They make a 44 Cover in Brute.... But I could not Justify the $250 price tag.

Also if you don't have them get them. I have them some of the best advice given to me so far.

The housing themselves have a drain plug built in. No need for a drain plug in the diff cover.
