Do you install with a new gasket or just the lube?

Got them for my black 2 door and I love them, get comments on them daily. Very strong and good quality. Plus made in Merica!

The cover comes with a tube of quality RTV sealant. PSC recommends it over the gasket. I went with that because it was free (the gaskets are expensive). Also... because track bar clearance is a issue when using the stock bar. Even a eigth of an inch could be the difference between touching and not. The Lubelocker gaskets appear rather thick and I didn't want to throw that into the equasion.

My jeep isn't orange though! Black. And doing orange accents.. Diff covers, d rings, steering linkages, when I get my rocker knockers doing orange insert, and beadlock rings eventually.

Northridge4x4 has a package deal 2 psc covers and 2 lube locker gaskets for a good price. Lubelockers to me are better and cleaner than rtv, plus its reusable.

So which is actually better? Lube or gaskets? Regardless of price or mess...

Will you be opening them up again any time soon? I thought about that. Wouldn't open up till I re gear next year, so just bought the covers and they come with RTV. Been a month now and no sight of leaks! If your going to regear soon or add a locker and such, then get the lubelocker.
