So why pay for a Rubi rear? When probably, for the same price, you can make your rear X axle better than a rubi's.

So buy the Rubi front axle, add the ARB. Get the SUPER 44 Kit, when it comes out, and rear gear both. Thats the way I am going.
That's a pretty good plan. In fact, to do the front may just require the front Rubi housing.

Question is how much will that run compaired to purchaseing a RUBIE Rear and ARBing and re-gearing? Gears are running around $250. 00 and end, + or - a few $$?

Just a thought. Best bang for the buck...

Buying a Rubi Rear $1500 and adding a ARB $700 and regear $900(parts and LABOR). Total .. $3100 give or take a few.

Superior Super 44 Kit with an ARB and 35 Spline axles... About $1500, regear $900(parts and Labor). Total .. $2400 give or take a few. Best bang for the buck

How do you know this? I was told that there doesn't seem to be much of a demand for this and it is kinda back burnered.
