Diff Cover (w/ drain plug) on lowered '01

Finally going to flush my diff fluid, and now's the time to install a diff cover w/ a drain plug. My '01 is lowered (Roush Leafs + 2" Shackles). I've also got Hotchkis sway bars that have known interference w/ lower trucks & aftermarket diff covers. Still sitting near stock horsepower, so no need for a girdle. What are the diff cover options (mostly after drain plug) for my setup, without replacing the sway bar to get it in front of the axle?

PS - Panhard bar to come this winter as well, another component w/ possible interference.

Thanks!

Dan,

The T/A cover/girdle should clear the sway bar fine.

If you use the DMR sandwich-type diff mount for the PHB, you can use any diff cover.

I like my TA cover. Like Tim said, you can use the DMR bracket for the Panhard. Or you can modify the bracket (if any) that comes with the panhard kit to fit your cover.
