Best Differential Covers (Front & Rear)

[John Benoit]

I am doing a regrear on my 2019 Jeep JLU Rubicon. I'm going to 5.13 Danas & want to swap the differential covers out as well. What is the best for a mall crawler? I'm not needing rock guard protection, but better capacity & good heat dissipation would be great. I have a 2.5" Accutune lift with SteerSmarts steering components, as well as their rear track bar, so will I have any clearance issues with aftermarket differential covers? Thanks.

I took front and rear Dana cast iron diff covers and had them powder coated to match the color of my Jeep. I have no clearance problems.

Powder coating isn’t that expensive and I feel it is a lot more durable than paint. That is just my opinion. Properly painting it you should spray an etching primer, then an epoxy type primer and then spray the paint on.

DANA Advantek covers for sure. DANA parts for DANA axles.

Another option is just buying the blue version from Dana.

Edit: Or can buy from Northridge. I bought mine from them, albeit the gray ones. Have had great experience with those guys.

Ruffstuff diff covers would be my pick for the best. Not the prettiest but the best.
