Where is the info that the XR front axle went from 7mm thickness to 10mm thickness? Thatā€™s thicker than aftermarket 44 ā€œextreme dutyā€ axlesā€¦

ā€œStock length LCAā€™sā€ 4.7 casterā€¦..wth! I get the stock track barsā€¦..only perfectionists with ocd would noticeā€¦.waitā€¦thatā€™s me ā˜¹ I guess the bean counters at Jeep donā€™t actually drive them. I replaced LCAā€™s when I built up my ā€˜21 (lift & 35ā€™s), didnā€™t realize I would need to do that to my XR when it finally arrives.

So true about the suspension. Already going to lift mine. No flex.

Wow thatā€™s surprisingā€¦ assume youā€™re disconnected in the front too? I just took delivery of my XR last week, havenā€™t had a chance to hit Uwharrie yet. Below is a pic from a few years ago in my 2011 JKU w/ a TeraFlex 2.5ā€ lift & 35ā€™s. Hate to think it had more flex than my XR. Haha

I was disconnected. There isnā€™t much room to stuff the front tire with the giant front bump stops.

Thatā€™ll do it, appreciate the pic. I should be hitting Uwharrie in the next week or two to break in the XR. Havenā€™t been since selling that JKU 5-6 years ago.

I googled quite a bit and found no mention of that. Perhaps someone has a link...

It was confirmed by good source at Jeep it is same axle housing as JT Mohave. But you are correct, no documentation. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Probably the worst thing about the XR imo. Itā€™s as if they sacrificed flex to give it more lift. Itā€™s hard to imagine how they even managed to both increase the height and decrease the flex at the same time.
Probably a lot to do with those ten-feet-long bump towers. I wonder what they were thinking going with that design, knowing it would decrease flex.

Itā€™s shock extended length. IIRC, front 3.6XR extended shock length is only .75ā€ longer than stock Rubi. Any extended bump stop over that amount takes directly from shock travel.

Easy enough fix though, swap out the shocks.

I see. Is there any official documentation for the Mojave front axles at least?
Of course. Jeep publishes an order guide for the JL/JT and everything is listed. It's been posted previously, all of the JL/JT axles available. The JT is available with:

DANA M210 FRONT AXLE (DJE)
DANA M210 WIDE FRONT AXLE (DJF)
DANA M220 REAR AXLE (DRE)
DANA M220 WIDE REAR AXLE (DRF)

The Mojave has a DJF front axle and DRF rear axle.

I still think it's BS that they do not offer the XR Package in a 2-door...
