Default Solid Diff Covers D30 and D44

I will be regearing to 5.13s and adding my locker. So I searched on here and couldn't find any results. Who on here is running the Solid diff covers for the 30 and 44 on their X or sahara? Do the diff covers contact the track bar up front or in the rear at all? Is there any clearance issues with them? They seem like a good deal and I really am going to need some diff protection. Are there any issues with these covers? Can't seem to find much info.

I have run my Solid diff. covers for an entire season with the lube locker gaskets and I have had no issues with leaks or interference. Only mod I had to make was the grinding inside to clear the locker electrical switch. Very easy to grind out, they even provide a diagram to guide you. You just can't beat the price and they are very stout to say the least.

Smile Solid Dana 44 Diff Covers

I had a set on my 07 JK Rubicon, had to grind out near the service hole. No problems.
Just purchased a set for my 09 JK Unlimited Rubicon, they come ready for installation, no grinding. You can't beat the price......:

No clearance issues at all. I have an after market steering stabilizer set-up so I can't comment on the stock bracket but I have not heard of any complaints. They are beefy covers for a great price.

I love my Riddlers have beat the piss out of them and no problems.

I also like the fact that they are smooth no ribs to get caught our chipped on rocks.

My 2 cents they are worth the extra 20 bucks.

Well I got them delivered for $130. Both. And they come powdercoated, so I guess we'll see how they hold up.

You can see them in the future on another run. And the gears and locker go in Tuesday next week.

I have them and love them... No issues at all and am impressed with the lube locker gasket...

Comes with nice hardware as well and you still have plenty of clearence in regards of the track bar.
