Thanks...
When we installed the front dif cover, we noticed it wasn't seating properly nor aligning 100% with the bolts holes. We put some colored grease on the gear and found the spots that were interferring. It was on the left side angled portion of the cover and at the top. We removed about 1/8" in both areas. Now fits fine no rubbing. It is a minor fix. The diff cover company said they would guarantee the cover even with the mod.

Let me tell you...this cover is extremely strong!

Nope. It fits fine. I ran the factory covers before I put on the ruff stuff cover on.

Just thought I'd throw it out there. I LOVE my Dynatrac diff covers. I've slammed and drug them on numerous rocks and they are holding up great. No complaints.
