x2 on ruffstuff. I've heard only good things... which is why when I get diff covers Im gonna go with ruffstuff. Some of the other companies make a diff cover that "looks" a little cooler, but I figure its under your car so barely anybody is gonna see it and when it comes to diff protection you dont want to substitute cool looks over toughness.

I put a RuffStuff on my son's Heep. Had to grind a bit on the inside to clear the adjuster bolts.

Makes perfect sense. Dana 44's are far more common than the 8.25". Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Isuzu, all have 44's. The 8.25 is a Jeep only rear axle.
