• Specifically engineered to fit Dana M220 rear axles found in Jeep Gladiator models from 2020 to 2025

Construction & Design

The aFe Pro Series Rear Differential Cover is crafted from high-quality cast aluminum, providing a robust and lightweight solution that resists corrosion and impact damage. Its black powder coat finish not only enhances durability but also adds a refined, aggressive look to your vehicle’s undercarriage. The precision-machined fins on both the exterior and interior surfaces increase the surface area for heat dissipation, effectively lowering the temperature of the gear oil during demanding driving conditions.

Attention to detail is evident in the inclusion of dual neodymium magnetic plugs, which are strategically positioned to capture metal shavings and contaminants, preventing premature wear of internal components. The large sight glass allows for quick visual checks of oil level and condition, simplifying maintenance routines.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the aFe Pro Series Rear Diff Cover is straightforward and designed to be a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory cover on Jeep Gladiator models equipped with the Dana M220 rear axle from 2020 through 2025. No modifications to the axle or vehicle are required. The included sway bar spacers ensure that suspension geometry remains correct after installation, maintaining vehicle handling and ride quality.

For best results, it is recommended to drain and replace the differential fluid during installation, using the calibration plug as a guide to fill to the proper oil level. This cover is engineered to fit precisely, ensuring a secure seal and long-lasting performance.
