Front Differential Covers?

Does anyone know of a good aftermarket differential cover that will fir on the front diff. I was going to order some Oasis Diff Covers and the guy told me that unless my truck is lifted, no aftermarket cover will fit due tot he higher fluid capacity on them. He basically said that it wouldn't fir with the tie rod in the way? Anyone have any experiences with front diff covers on a non-lifted truck? Thanks in advance for the input!

I do. I recently installed a Mag-Hytec on my 06 in front. No lift, stock tires. Call the guy back and kindly inform him of how ignorant he is. Buy a Mag-Hytec, they look great and have many features which I think you would like.

I have PML covers on both the front and rear diff. No problems whatsoever.

So MH finally fixed the clearance issue on their front cover? Others were having issues with it hitting and MH didn't seem to care or have any desire to correct it.

I would love to get one, but only if they've really fixed the clearance issue.

I emailed them that same question. They assured me the problem had been fixed, they mentioned it was early production problems. I have had no issues other than the install was hard on my large fingers. If you want to buy one, go ahead and do so-you won't be disappointed.

PML has them. Less expensive than MH.

I don't think Oasis has one for the 9 1/4 front diff.

I have pretty much decided to order a black PML front diff cover. I have the MH rear diff and dd tranny pan. I love them...and they are great products. But I am just not convinced on the MH front diff cover yet. There are some other threads floating around with issues regarding rubbing and lack of customer service with MH regarding that. Personally, I like the way the PML looks too.....more so on the front...than the front MH. The MH has a funny looking wierd type of styling, cut away area...that im just not to fond of.
