This Is One Upgrade You Will Never Regret

If you wheel your truck hard or even just want peace of mind on the trail, the Carli CS-FFDG-05 Front Differential Guard is one of those must-haves that pays for itself the first time it saves your axle. The factory front diff cover on your Super Duty is surprisingly soft and vulnerable, and one solid hit on a rock can push that thin metal straight into your gears. That kind of damage doesn't just ruin your day, it can take out the whole differential if fluid leaks go unnoticed. Carli’s guard gives you the kind of bulletproof protection that lets you drive without hesitation, knowing your ring and pinion are shielded by solid 3/16-inch steel. The boxed design isn't just for looks either, it adds serious rigidity to absorb and deflect impacts that would otherwise spell trouble. Whether you're crawling over rocks or just navigating rough jobsites, this guard is a smart insurance policy for your drivetrain. Plus, it bolts on in minutes using the existing factory holes, so you can get back on the road or trail without a full day in the shop.

Built With Purpose For Trucks That Work Hard

Carli designed the CS-FFDG-05 Front Differential Guard with one mission in mind, to reinforce one of the most exposed and under-protected components on your truck. Built from 3/16-inch steel and shaped into a boxed structure, this guard creates a tough shield that deflects debris and prevents any distortion of the factory diff cover during impacts. It mounts using the lower five factory bolt holes and comes with extended hardware to ensure a snug, secure fit without modification. On the passenger side, the differential guard also includes a double-shear mount, giving you the option to pair it with Carli’s low-mount steering stabilizer for extra control and improved handling. That stabilizer isn’t included, but the integrated mount means it’s an easy upgrade whenever you're ready. The entire setup is engineered for 2005–2022 Ford F-250 and F-350 4WD trucks, so you know the fit and geometry are dialed in. From daily driving to heavy hauling and off-road abuse, this guard is purpose-built to handle it all.
