Newbie- be gentle

Is there a way to get a Sport model with the Dana 44 front end and the 4.10 gears? I'm just gonna put a lift, wheels and tires on myself and don't want to buy a Rubi just for those things.

I wish they still had that Red Rock Crystal paint. That was the best red I think Jeep ever had.

Thanks in advance.

Not from the factory but you can proly find a d44 and 4.10s aftermarket for cheaper

Guessing it will be over 4k to do this. Not to mention labor.

Any reason why you would just not get the rubicon?

Well, a base Sport is about 22k and a base Rubicon is around 30k which is 8k difference. If I were able to buy a base Sport and add the front end and gears as an option, that would leave about 4k to pay or close to pay for a lift, wheels and tires for the same price I would pay for a stock Rubicon.

Unless I am missing something of course. As a reference, I was planning on doing a basic 3" coil spring lift and 35s.

Ebay is riddled with people trying to sell stock Rubicon wheels and tires because they planned on running 33s or 35s anyway.

I guess I could do the same thing on Ebay to recoup some of the cost difference of the Rubicon if this option is not available.

I think most people get the rubicon not just for the front axle but for the 4:1 transfer case and the lockers and swaybar disco. If your going to swap the front axel might as well get something stronger than the stock rubicon 44 mabey a currie 44 or 60

Thanks for the inputs.
