I am finally going to remove the aftermarket outer axle tube end seals on my Dana 30)I should not have used them on it when I did the regear.i think they do more harm than good.i am running the revolution lifetime shafts with the jk joints,should i use the factory plastic oil slingers,will they even fit on these shafts?thanks-jeff

The RG&A shafts are larger in diameter so the stock plastic cover won't fit. FWIW, my tube ends have been open since 2019.

Since you cant run em and ever worry about mud or dirt getting in there you can flex your jeep or place a jackstand on one side of the axle and set the garden hose thing on "jet" mode or whatever to get the mud out, Ive had to do that a few times when i've unfortunately hit mud
