Tim, I don't think it makes a difference but those JLP traction bar brackets under your axle are "backwards"...I've been told the lip should be facing the rear of the truck.

Who makes that diff cover? Looks like the fins would dissipate heat more (marginally at least)

Be sure to read the installation link -- there are some issues which need to be addressed when installing on an L.

Called myself trying to save some money, wished now that I had gone with JDM. But bought mine from Lightning-Enterprise, been on for two months and already have rust spots on it. Tried to contact them but have not received any reply. Buyer beware.[

JDMs is machined out of billet aluminum. The cover is over a half inch thick so you don't have to worry about strenghth issues. Plus it has carrier cap screws to preload the bearing caps to reduce less flex in the rear end. I know it's got a decent price but I believe it's worth it.
