Default Need new Diff cover

I need to replace the rear diff cover. I was thinking Rockcrusher? I think its the C8.25. Any suggestions will help.

Yup, that's a Dana. Get an ARB and tell me what you think? Seriously though, they are supposed to be bad *** diff covers.

If the Diff itself has a flat bottom it is a C8.25 if it has a round bottom it is a D35. It looks like a dana 35 but hard to say from that picture.

There is a vender on here that sells Diff covers. Look in the vender section. They are great prices and the toughest cover you will ever need
3/8"

If u change covers, the fill hole needs to be at the same level as stock, in relation to the axle tubes. If not, u could over/under fill the diff, depending on where the fill hole is on the new cover.
