Diff Covers

Diff Covers

Differential covers protect the ring gear, bearing caps, and gear oil inside your axle housing. Upgrading from a factory stamped-steel cover to a cast iron, billet aluminum, or fabricated steel unit adds extra fluid capacity for better cooling and provides significantly more impact protection on trails and tracks.Popular Diff Cover UpgradesTop sellers include Dana 44 and Dana 60 covers from Yukon Gear and ARB, deep-sump covers for GM 8.5-inch and 10.5-inch axles, high-clearance covers for Jeep JL and JK axles, and aFe Power COVER axle covers for Ford F-150, Ram, and GM truck platforms.

Reinforced covers also resist rock strikes that would crack or bend a stock stamped unit, keeping your dif...
