So I’m seeing plenty of threads with the routine swap on a Sport being the Rubicon D44.
My question is, has anyone taken the D44 LSD (Willy’s, Sahara, etc.) and replaced their D35 with that axle? If so, is it a straight across, bolt for bolt install?
For reference I have a ‘19 Sport S auto with D30/35 combo. It’s my daily driver. My eventual plan is to sloooowly do the axle swaps and doing the rear to start is seemingly much more economical right now.
*edit: I’ll add that the type of wheeling I do is moderate trail runs, nothing really needing lockers. I don’t plan on doing rock crawling, or anything crazy. I’m light on the skinny pedal and take my time. My JLU is a daily, so I’m in no position to beat it up and can’t justify the cost of doing a full Rubicon swap right now.
any constructive input is appreciated!
