I have decided to go the core44 route to make sure I am good and solid up front. I only ru 33" tires for now but feel this is a good step towards being able to safely run 35" or larger tires after a new lift is installed at the same time.
When you say "snapped", are you saying the axle housing/tube or are you talking about the axle shaft/gears?

Default Front & Back - Done
Anyone have any issues with their steering stabilizer fitting the bigger tube on the G2?

Great info reading through the thread. I wrecked my JK a little over week ago. Need a complete front axle, insurance is paying for the stock D30, taking the money and applying towards the G2/core44. Will only cost me about 12-1500 out of pocket for this upgrade. Should be getting mine ordered tomorrow. Body shop is ordering and letting me use some gift cards and gift certificates so out of pocket will be even less. Can't wait to get it back.

Well after as much research as I could do well saving up. I have decided to pull the trigger. I ordered my g2 core 44 with Eaton e locker and 4:56 gears as well as 30 spline chromoly axle shafts.
Also coming is matching gears and locker for the rear.

Going to be a whole new beast soon. Hoping 3-4 weeks and I should be up and running.

I love it, had it churning deep snow and slush while locked up a few times now... it is a real peace of mind off road. I never broke my 30, but always babied it, and even had to avoid certain activities on certain trails to keep everything intact. Now I just kind of smash into the big drifts knowing I can be a little rough with it and still get home. The ected has worked great for me, went with the 35 spline... no leaks and no issues at all.

I found a good angle for mine, and it's been problem free... but I did a drag link flip... so it mounts high, not under.

Doesn't the Core 44 come with drag link already flipped?
