Cool Anyone try Benedict Harry brass portal covers?

Found these on Amazon that are way cheaper than Treal:

Anyone tried these and have good success? Also will I need wheel stud extenders to get stock wheels to fit?

That's what is on all 3 of my TRX trucks. Works great, I haven't needed extenders with mine.

Thanks! Would you recommend getting them on all fours, or just the two front?

I just ordered 2 pair for my Blazer! I like how they are smaller and lower profile compared to some of the others. It seems that these will be able to fit any 1.9" wheel and tire combo I would choose in the future.

They are lighter in weight compared to the others available, but spending all that money for brass is a highway robbery. Hopefully these will fit good and give me enough weight.

Thanks for your help

Take note that the link you provided is misleading, those are not the steering knuckle covers. Those are the rear axle covers. The front axle ones have to have knuckles after all.

Those are the ones that I have used for front and rear. The outer cover is the same front and rear. It's the back half that is different between front and rear.
I actually just added a set this morning, so I know they're still valid.

Just installed two pairs of these yesterday on my TRX-4 Sport, fit well and add good weight
