ARB diff covers

Grade 8 is important because it holds up better when being bashed on rocks. However the ARB cover uses allen head bolts that are recessed into the cover. That means you don't need grade 8, even though they are.
Diff covers are usually torqued to like 35ft/lbs. You don't need grade 8 (or grade anything ) for that.
If you really cared, you could just go buy some grade 8 bolts to put them in whatever cover you wanted.
Cant' go wrong with ARB's. I've bought 4 of them!

I went with ARB's since they are stronger and they have grade 8 bolts, but they are not needed (stocks do not have them, and it is the weakness of the stamped steel that is the issue with stock diff covers, not the bolts)

You don't have to take off the diff covers to change the fluid with stockers either. I actually think it is more a pita to change the fluid on my ARB's, plus you have to measure your fluid or your breathers will be puking out stinky diff fluid if you over fill the ARB's.
