Is the Rubicon wider than the Sport/Sahara models? I saw both models at the dealership sidexside and the Rubicon (to me) looks wider.

The sticker price for the Rubicon says Dana 44 Wide front/rear axle.

Can anyone clear this up for me?

Thanks.

The axles are wider on the Rubicon, but the body and frame are the same across all models.

That makes the track wider, correct? So then It does have a wider stance.

I would love to see a useful measurement difference between a Rubicon and Sahara/Sport.

According to Jeep's specs on the axles, the Rubicon should have a 1.5" wider track but the vehicle spec sheets show the same values regardless of the trim level selected

A wider stance, sure, but the general width of the vehicle doesn't change because the tires don't extend beyond the fender flares.

Are the wheel offsets the same?
