With more and more people building up their Jeep JK Wranglers and getting them to sit on 37″ tires or larger, it’s no wonder that so many members of JK-Forum.com have made axles and the components that make them what they are, one of the hottest topics of conversation. Whether it be in regards to installing new gears, upgrading axle shafts or replacing them altogether, people are looking for answers and in more cases than not, I have found that they don’t even know what questions to ask. Of course, a lot of this is because the subject of axles is completely Greek to them.

Thanks to the help of David Castillo from Currie Enterprises, the following article was written to help provide some basics about front and rear axles. Our goal is to help educate people, give brief overviews of the major components that make axles what they are and to provide a reference point to work off of.

the rock jocks are on my list... a few years out, but on the list, right along with a 4" lift, and 37's

Yeah, mine, too. Rock Jocks are a must have, but probably not this decade.

Will be nice to have it up on 37's-38's w/ RJ60's and the Evo coilovers!

Good, useful info, Eddie...definitely considering upgrading to a Mopar complete D44 for my 2 door "X" in the near future...to match up better with the rear.

Good article. Those are some bad@$$ axles for sure. Only thing is you could buy a really nice TJ for what those things cost!
