Default Differential covers and Locker clearance

Thinking of buying 2 solid axle industries differential covers for my 08 Rubicon. I would like to know if there are any issues regarding clearance using the new covers and the electric lockers or for that matter any other lockers.

Thanks, Rub61

they come with directions to grind a little bit of the cover for the rear locker clearance, lots of people here using them without problems

grinding material makes me nervous. Only have 1/4" of meat there and take some away it gets weaker?? Haven't the new ones been modified to take locker clearance into account.

Thanks for any reply

It's really not as bad as it sounds. It took 5 minutes to do and was easier than I thought. There's more than 1/4" of meat, and no they don't pre-grind them I don't believe.
