You do not need a JK specific one. You need the Dana30 27 Spline model and depending on your gear ration 3.73 up or down. I cannot recall the part number I got sorry.
I did not see a JK specific one...if one is needed.

yup I here you price wise...
The truetrac is entirely silent at all times on road, in parking lots or wherever.
Again...I dont rock crawl on a weekly basis. And because I had to replace the unit for regearing purposes, the truetrac fits all of my requirements without being cost prohibitive.

If you search aussie on here almost every thread someone is having a problem with them. No joke I spent almost 4hours searching yesterday on this forum. Could not hardly find anything on the truetrac.
And if you get on you tube a search detroit truetrac most vids are filmed with trucks and suv's in the snow. Showing how well they do in slick conditions. Almost all were in the rear axle.

I love my Aussie but it is a full-time auto locker. If you are doing new gears, I would install the Truetrac at the same time. You won't even know the Truetrac is there but it will give you much greater traction than just an open differential.

Never had a truetrac in a JK, but had one in the front of my Bronco. I did a solid axle conversion (D44, 4.56) and running 38.5" TSL's is held up great with near locker like traction (you could over power it, but it took a whole lot to do it). I chose it mainly because it has no wear parts (clutches, disc, etc). I served me well and I would recomend it to anyone.

Thanks for all the replies everyone. Decided to go with truetrac up front. Then later throwing in a E locker in the rear.
To everyone that replied thanks for your insight.
