Thats great news! Hopefully that will take care of the rear end, and make it a little stronger.
Yes, but are those gears for the D44 that is in the JK X and Sahara editions?? those are the old style 30 spline axles...the Rubi's and Xterras are the "new" style D44s with a 32 spline count....tea mon said:I know that Superior Axle and Gear have made 4.88s and 5.13s for the D44 on the new JK. http://www.project-jk.com has the write up that Off-Road Evolution did on the install.
I wonder if that means that the D44 front axle on the JK would be an option for a SAS.
Ah...you are correct...so at least the 4.88 gears will be done for the Rubi....not sure if that helps us but I do stand corrected...thanks for that info!!tea mon said:I read this as they are producing a gear for the rubi.
"Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to cover the installation and testing of the 4.88 gears that went into Kevin McNulty’s 4Wheel Drive & Sport Utility Rescue Green Jeep JK Rubicon Unlimited that’s sitting on top of 35″ tires, but I was fortunate enough to cover the 5.13’s that went into Mel Wade’s Off Road Evolution Silver JK Sahara Unlimited that’s sitting on 37″ tires. And, after going for a test drive before and after the installation, I can tell you that the results are outstanding!"
The new JK's are 5 on 5" bolt pattern.mike100 said:I heard the new wranglers have a new lug pattern.
