Are Rubi axles/ratio a worthwhile upgrade for us? I'm obviously talking about the gasser rubicon's axles

I would think no (they are Dana 44s too). Other than a lower ratio and having the diff lock, I think they are the same axles. If you have a Rubicon Diesel, then you have the diff lock. I assume you do not. I would look to the aftermarket if you want/need lower ratios and diff-lock.

Not bad... looking at over 10k! Lol

I believe you have a Dana 30 in the front and 3:45 gears (unless you have the 3:73 option). With the Rubi axles you get the 4:10 Dana 44s F&R, lockers F&R, sway disconnects. And most sets for sale also include the brakes, so you'd have extra brake parts if needed.

IMO it would be worth the upgrade all day and all night!

I was thinking that we were talking about an Eco Diesel Wrangler are we not? If so, they come with Dana 44s I believe.

We are indeed talking about the diesel

Wider axles, selectable lockers and lower gears are definitely an upgrade in my opinion.

Oh, well that changes the value equation a bit, still a nice upgrade for sure but not a slam-dunk like I had envisioned if you were running the Dana 30 in front.

This thread was moved from the diesel section for some reason
