it should. just make sure both front and rear diffs are geared the same (rubi is 4.10 where most x's are 3.21 or 3.73). did you find a junk yard rubi d44?

Yes, it's a direct bolt in. You will need the wiring and switches for the locker though. (not sure if you need a dealership flash to get the locker to work?)

With a rubi housing, the 'only' arb that will fit is the 35spline one, and you will have to run 35spline axle shafts also. And yes, all rubi axles come with 4.10's, so if your rear 44 has something different, you will need to regear one of them.

And before you ask it, the 35sp arb is the only non-factory locker option. Nothing else will fit without significant custom work...
