    Driveshaft upgrade

    Ask The Expert- Diff sliders

    I have a Poison Spyder diff cover currently and wondering if a Diff slider is a good idea as well? Specifically looking at the AEV slider for a JKU rear diff. Any pro's and cons would be appreciated. I'm open to other sliders too but seems like the AEV provides protection to the lower Cv joint.
