i love my riddlers. decent price, beefy as hell, no fins or edges or anything for rocks to snag, and you can paint them however you want. you'll likely need to repaint any diff cover after enough abuse, so imo it's best to not have some fancy pants paint job to try to match later (if you're actually worried about that kind of thing)

But like everyone else said, go with whatever suits your taste. Anything beats those puny stock covers

Poison Spyder (same design as the Riddlers - just a spider instead of the "R" on them) Tough as hell. But like many have said, most anything is going to be better than the stock ones.

Riddlers! Cheap and tough can't beat the price even with lube lockers. Just mark a zip tie at stock oil height and check when your done. Good to go. And on the tourque rate go a little lower unless you use grade 8 hardware

I have Riddlers front and rear and nailed them a few times on rocks pretty hard. They held up well so far and the price is reasonable.
I set them up with some lube-lockers and have been good. Poison Spyder covers are also nice.

I like the look of these http://www.quadratec.com/products/16238_104.htm
I know they're a bit more, but I like the additional protection they appear to provide. Please school me if these suck for some reason--they are what I'm considering.

I ran solids on my 2008 and for the price it couldn't be beat. Roughed em up pretty good several times. On my 2011 I think I may go with the ARBs. No reason in particular..just something different.

I like the ARB and Dynatrac....they protect the diff but also are designed to make it stronger on the inside. Ie) contact points etc
My only concern is will I have front trackbar issues? Don't want to have to upgrade trackbar right now.
Running a 3.5" lift with trackbar relocation bracket and drop pitman arm. Anyone have experience with this?
