I want to throw in some 5.13's in my '11 rubi jku, but I cant recall wether I would need a new carrier or not. If I do need a new carrier, it would make sense i would also need new lockers, and for that much chedder, I would be more inclined to buy a pair of pro rocks.... Any insight into this matter would be appreciated. As would any advice on parts not to forget and general advice as this will be my first axle build.... Im relatively confident in my mechanical skills, but this is my daily driver so the fewer hiccups that slow me down will aid in me getting her back on the road.

 

I don't have a rubie but I'm 99.9% sure all you would need is the ring and pinion and master overhaul kits. You have 4.10 now so I know your carrier is good but as far as the lockers im not 100% but I would assume you wouldn't need anything there either. I'm sure someone will chime in that has regeared there rubicon!

 

I run that set up myself on my 11 rubi all u need is ring an pinion and kit

 

Did you do the install? Im curious to know what the common hurdles are so I can avoid them.

Great write up. I had thumbed through this while in search for an answer and will definitely be referring to it when I re-gear. If someone has a different method or what they consider a better way of doing the re-gear, I welcome the advice if it will save me a dollar and a headache.
