If I still had a Dana 44 rear axle, I would definitely get one. A couple of years ago in Moab I slipped off a rock and took out my rear yoke, which in turn grenaded my rear diff. I'm pretty sure that the rear slider would have prevented the damage.

I would. They are expensive but worth it. When I hear my rear diff hitting rocks I don't even worry about it.

Subscribed. I'm also interested in this. Does anyone know if it will work with aftermarket differential covers?
