Pricing on the gears will depend on how big you will go. You need to make sure that your new gears are designed for the D44 which comes as part of a rubicon. Lockers should already work with the gears if purchased for a rubicon with a d44. When ordering make sure you ask the vendor if they will fit the stock lockers unless you can specifically state the gears you are buying and the brand.


Do you need help with finding out what upgrade gears fit with the stock D44 and locker for a Rubicon 2 door?

I assume you are planning 4.88 gears but I could be wrong as there two other sizes (hint hint) what are you looking to go into for a gear?

Nope, it just attracts idiots to the fold. This thread is proof positive.
Allright that's uncalled for. Ignorance yes, but ignorance does not make an idiot.

I agree we should help this guy become knowledgable. He's looking for advice but I'm not sure I understand the questions fully.

Well, I guess the simple answer to his question is "No" he doesn't need lockers, because he already has them. His second question was to the advantages or disadvantages of having them. Basically, there is no disadvantage with the Rubicon lockers, because they're selectable. The advantage is traction. (Maybe oversimplified, but there you go.)
