Great fit and very Strong
Perfect fit on my 2022 gladiator sport s. Easy to install, super strong, took a beating while off-roading in AR and protected my differentials and they should. Battle scar scratches on their bottoms to prove it. Highly recommend them.

Perfect fit, ample protection
Perfect fit (unlike the front glide plate which has a u-bolt that is an inch too short). Happy with this and can confirm it does it's job well after smacking it and sliding it across granite ledges this past weekend.

Easy install, quality skid
Unlike the front glide plate, this read fit easily with the parts included in the box. Sturdy like as cast iron pan, anyone going offroad needs one!

Love it but a little elbow grease
Product didn’t fit out of the box. Had to use a grinder to reshape the front “V” section so the tabs would touch the rear of the pumpkin. After that the U bolt fit and honest I’m still happy with it. It’s a skid plate do I expect to scuff it up. Besides who doesn’t love busting out the grinder and letting sparks fly.

Q & A
Question & Answers
8 Answered questionsQ: Does this fit the 2021 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, or is the u-bolt too short? Answer this question
A: Thank you for the question. The Rancho RS62116 is cataloged for the front of this application with Dana 44 M210 axle.
Answered by DRiV Team on 09/14/2021
A: Confirmed with Rancho: this does NOT fit the 2021 JLUR. The installation instructions cite 2018-2020 JL Rubicon but NOT the 2021. I called Rancho support and they confirmed that this part does NOT fit the 2021. Now, could it fit? Yes. You only need a longer u-bolt. But Rancho isn't willing to support the application by supplying a longer u-bolt.
Answered by Magnus Machina from Austin, TX on 09/07/2021
A: Mine came with too short a U bolt, but Matt (go to the Wrangler JL or Gladiator forums and he's on there daily) sent me the right one the day he heard my complaint. I'm guessing there are two different castings, and some of us have a thicker one and are out of luck. I have a WiIlys JT, which is the same as Willys and Rubicon JL from what I've read. If you have a Sport, the part seems to work for most people.

A: Hi Max, This Rancho Front Differential Glide Plate will not fit a Dana 30 front axle. This one is for a Dana 44. The part you need is RS6222 for Wrangler JK and RS6227 for Wrangler TJ/LJ

Q: Does Rancho make a Dana 35 differential glider? Answer this question
A: Hello The Glide Plate are only for the front in the rear they end up working like a shovel. The open end would be facing forward and scooping dirt up.
