Does Auburn gear make a FRONT locker for my 97 rubicon?

Default Does Auburn gear make a FRONT locker for my 97 rubicon?

Edit:typo, it is 2007.

I see they have the new ected MAX, but that requires new front axle shafts. Do they make one that does not require the axle shafts?

But then again, maybe I should upgrade the shafts while I am it. I run 37" bfg Mud terrains.

My stock rubi locker quite working. Back one works great.

I am still running my stock 4.11 gears. Indiana is flat, and they are not bad.

I really don't want to hear about arb, etc etc. I like the auburn clutch limited slip when off.

Thanks for any info!

P.S. If you think I should go with the max, then what axle shafts are a good value?

You have a 97 Rubicon you say? You have a Rubi front axle?

Auburn will work it only comes in stock 30 spline for D44. You do not need new axle shafts, but you will need a new ring and pinion as the Rubicon gears are thick cut, and you will need a standard D44 gear set. Its part number AUB545019.
