I’m looking for a finned aluminum differential cover for my 2017 Ram 1500 crew with 6’4” box, Dana anti-slip rear end. It of course has a sway bar and panhard bar with about 3 3/8” from the cover face by the bolts to the panhard. Any suggestions as to what would fit with enough clearance to not strike the bar on bumps, braking or acceleration?

I know one guy running mag Hy tech. Looks like a tight fit, but there is 0 evidence of contact with the sway bar after a couple years of use.

I think the only time you might have a problem is if you lower your truck. I have the Mag tech and have had no problem even with the Hellwig sway bar, the truck is a 16 Sports CC 4x4.

Thanks for the replies. The Mag Tech was the one I saw that had minimal clearance but if no contact seen then maybe I will consider it further.

It fits close but I've never had any kind of contact, even with the bed loaded or going over gravel washboard roads.
