OEM style diff covers with drain plugs?

[Mogul345]

Necro'ing this thread - anyone have a testament to the quality/clearance of these Yukon ones on a stock suspension? I don't have a lift or anything, nor do I plan on modding the suspension. I've got a pavement princess, I just want drain plugs for future drain/fills. I did find the rear one in a thread somewhere w/ a lubelocker gasket, which would be my plan of attack as well.

I put these Dana covers on my XJ. I have a Dana 44 Dana cover on the shelf for the rear of my TJ.

I used the Lube Locker gaskets and didn't have to mess with RTV.

Nice. Summit has those too, and they are cheaper. I am curious though, do you fill to the bottom or top fill plug? I wonder why there are two plugs...

Also, is the drain plug magnetic?

I use the lower fill plug. It matches the original cover. I think the upper fill plug is used if you change the differential angle for a lift, etc.

Yes, the drain plug is magnetic.

I bought these because I figured since Dana also make the axles they probably have it figured out. And the price is right.

Great, ordered. Looking forward to having drain plugs and being able to make this a 15 min job going forward.
