It looks like the difference is that Rubicon has the Rock-Track, electric sway bar disconnect, front locking differential and LT tires...

The ONLY way to get a 44 front is to buy a rubicon, everything else gets the HP30.

True

basically, the factory locker is available as an option in the REAR for the X and Sahara but not the front. If you dont want the rear locker in your non-rubicon model you can get a Trac-Lok (in the rear), but you have to have the dana 44 (in the rear) to get it!

wow this thread has turned into a "components" thing instead of a "suspension" thing....LOL...its all good..

but since it's going it the direction it is, I can't honestly understand how people can think that the diff between the sahara and the rubi is'nt worth a couple grand....you get so much more than a couple thousand dollars worth of mod's with the rubi....well it must be the painted fenders that make it all worth it...LOL....
