New DV8 44 installed
Finally got my new axle installed, really wanted something a little different and couldn't ignore the DV8 specs. Went with the ARB and a pair of RCVs. Haven't got it out on the rocks yet but it looks badass, pics coming

I was originally building the whole jeep off of Craigslist and forum buys so the price was nice, of course arb, compressor and rcv's kinda blew the budget away, first impressions are great, the flighty highway manners are gone, super smooth

Dv8 44
Any Reason why you went with the Dv8 44 vs say a core 44 or the other aftermarket ones?
I took a look at their specs on the site they seem to be on par or even slightly better than the others. I have one of their Bumpers and I am happy with the quality. My main concern is they do not say anything about being compatible with the Eaton E locker.
I really want to build one but I want to put an Eaton E locker in it. It says it will work with a factory E locker so I don't see why it would not work.

We just did one of these up for a local build. Nice unit!! We did the 35spline RCVs and ARB, came out great, I was pleasantly impressed.

Went with it for a couple reasons, tubes are just huge, same with the C's, price was a plus but not a massive factor, I kinda wanted something not everyone has

From their tech directly, any rubicon locker will fit, that's why they say ox, ARB 35 spline, and factory, regular 44 has different bearings but if it will fit in a rubicon 44 front, it should fit in this one
