ARB go big or go home I peeled back my rear foctory on a rock in the middle of a rock garden. Went with arbs because there solid and beefy as hell. Plus they just so happened to come out with the black right when I was looking . Get a set of em plus lubelockers. Think it took me two hours and they were assembled and filled with fluid

I did the rear and went with PSC. Not hard at all to install. Do this one your self.

Change at least the rear if you wheel much, I've seen 2 peel the stock ones enough to leak all the fluid out on rocks.

I went with riddler my dealer hasn't said anything but my dealer is actually very mod friendly. I put riddlers on mine & have beat them pretty well & had no problems yet but if you use a lube locker don't use a torque wrench I broke 4 bolts trying that just get them snug enough

I went with the Poison Spyder. I think they are the same as the Riddler. I beat on them all the time and they have held up great. The reason I went with the Poison Spyder in because of the smooth exterior unlike the ARB that has ridges. My thinking was that the smooth would not catch so much on rocks. don’t worry about the dealer.
