Default Diff Cover Advice????? What should I get?

I have leaks in both my front and rear diff's.

The dealer is going to clean, replace fluid and reseal them and they will install the new covers for me under warranty. I figured since they are going to do all the work and cover fluid etc...I might as well do diff covers now....wasnt planning on doing it yet...but it just works out.

I just have to provide them with the new diff covers......what should I get?

ARB......Riddler.....Teraflex......Solid......Ranc ho.....help....so many to choose from.

Are the ARB's worth the extra $$$???

I'd go for the Solids. Great cost, great protection. I would get the lube lockers as well instead of using silicon.

There are quite a few polls and threads on 'which is better'. Anything is better than the stock covers, so get whatever you like.

I have the Teraflex myself - got them during a ding and dent sale but I just don't see how these could ding OR dent . But, like said before, any of those brands are better than stock - so pick one that'll fit the personality and mods you've done (or plan on doing to your Jeep) the best and put em on.

If I go ARB will that interfere with any future mods?

I bought a Solid for the rear and it is heavy duty, not to mention they might still be on sale. You could get both for the price of one

TeraFlex diff covers are 3/8" thick cast. No issues with clearance on them.
