Default Diff Covers and Stock Track Bars

Looking for a set of differential covers.

What covers will work with factory track bars with no hitting/rubbing at all?

Looking into Riddler in specific, but will consider other options if they won't work.

I have Ranchos front and rear after an unfortunate incident with a very pointy rock. I was going to go with ARB but I have e-lockers and, at the time, there wasn't anything firm saying they would fit properly.

Nice diffs BTW

But have you flexed it out ? That is usually when the contact occurs.

I've been running a Riddler on my rear 44 for about 8,000 miles without issue. And for what it's worth, on my front 44 I have a Rancho diff slider for the same 8,000 miles and it's only a little bent from a rock on Holy Cross... I've flexed it out many, many times---> Click image for larger version

Ran stock track bars with my ARB diff covers for a while before I upgraded. No issues.
