Recently brought a high tide edition that comes with the xtreme recon package.

Planning to buy / install the ARB differential covers, but had a few questions:

1) my understanding the recon package gives rhe m210 and m220 as part of the kit. Is this accurate?

2) For the actual install, i see you need to mark the dip stick. I always topped off the differentials until it began to flow out of the fill port. Which should i do?

Thanks in advance

Hey welcome. Can't verify the axles but regarding the ARB covers - make sure before you start the install that the bolts are the correct thread pitch. Had one come with the wrong bolts, not fun when the factory cover is already off. You do need to mark the dipstick since the fill port is on the top (it won't flow out until it is WAY overfilled). Just keep a tab on how much you're adding and then verify with the dipstick once you've added it.

This is what I LOVE about the ARB covers - the magnet in the drain plug captures a lot of the wear metals. Just swapped diff oil yesterday

Does the ARB cover add any additional fluid capacity?

No, same capacity as with the factory cover. Just be sure to follow the install instructions concerning how to mark the dipstick in relation to the fill plug on the factory cover.

Also, it's worth mentioning that the ARB front cover does not play well with the SteerSmarts track bar.

Does anything play well with that track bar? It’s just way too damn big.
