Dana 44 front locker
I'm gettin ready to order an Unlimited X (with locker and discon) after I sell the YJ. I can't quite decide on 35s or 37s. Seems like 35s will work, but I can't get the 37s outa my head. If I do run 37s, its recommended to run the Dana 44 up front. Well I saw the rubicon D44 bolt-in for a JK w/ locker for $1459. The only functional thing seperating this setup from a rubicon is the 4:1 transfer case, for about 5000 less.
My question: If I do get the mopar axle does the X wiring harness have the axle connection for the front locker? |

Or, many have done the same and just wired in a switch in the cab thats ran off a relay. It will save a bit of money because factory wiring harnesses are bank.

will the Front Dana 44 be a 3.73 then?
If you are ordering the JK unlimited then it must be a 08. I thought only the Rubicon comes with 4.1 now and everything else is a 3.73 or 3.21? Is the dana 44 a 3.73 or 4.1? you might want to look into this. Also I maybe wrong but I thought the rear rubicon axle is 32 spline 44 while the others are 30 spline 44 I thought the rubicon was a bit stronger because of this?

That's a good point. You will likely have to regear your factory rear unless the 4.10 still comes with the rear locker option.

I bet the switch and relay set up for the Eaton E-Locker would be adaptable for it.
Probably be a lot cheaper also. |
