Default ARB diff cover question

I have an 07 X with an electronic rear locker. I was told by someone who is pretty knowledgeable about JK's that I have the same locker that is in the Rubicon. He told me I can use an ARB diff cover on the front 30 (which I bought) but that if I use the ARB cover on ther rear it will hit (interfere with) the solenoids which operate the locker. I was looking for some input on whether anyone had experienced this problem.

I'll call ARB to ask them on Monday, but I thought that maybe over the weekend I could ask around here. He recommended a Dynatrac or Alloy on the rear.

Thanks in advance!

I dont know how much of a difference there is... and I know there is, but I have an e-locker on the front and an ARB cover with no problems.

Thanks, Sarge!

I don't get the popcorn PJ? I searched for this and couldn't find anything. Most of what I read about ARB vs anything else regarded strength #1, or track bar clearance #2.

Popcorn means he's just tuning in to see what others have to say...

I have an '08 Rubicon and have ARB covers front and rear. No problems. In fact, I used the rear locker last week! No problems.

Thanks for the input. I have no reason to doubt the guy who told me about the solenoid problem. He's probably the best guy around here for working on and lifting JKs. I just wanted to ask around here and check with ARB on Monday. If there is no problem reported I'll go ahead and get one to match my front.
