Default diff covers

I am looking for some new diff covers to put on my axles. I have a 30/8.25 set up. Does anyone know any good brands besides Riddler that makes matching front and rear covers?

Or any magazine that has jeeps in it, tons of ads. I make my own personaly, I won't pay a hundred bucks for something I can easily make.

I recently installed one of my steering kits on a rig that was equipped with a Solid Diff Cover. The owner had to install a different cover because it stuck out way too far.

You'll run into the same problem with the Ruffstuff covers as well if you try to install a 1 ton steering upgrade. Linky....

Bottom line, do plenty of research before buying. (Ridler covers should be looking much better right about now.)

you could get off set TREs from ruff stuff, or just run the ZJ HD steering or Currie steering. i know that lessens your options considerably

Yes that is exactly what I am doing I am running a 1996 ZJ Tie Rod Setup with a return to center Trailmaster coil-over steering stabilizer.
