Exclamation Front and REAR AXLE Change suggestion request

Good afternoon to everyone.

I need your expert opinion :
I'm approaching AXLE Change front and rear, I would like to maintain Factory Spline and Differential (27 spline Front - 30 Rear) but I wanna set the most HD on the market that fit JK 2015 Non Rubicon! Which are the Best? G2-Gold-Yukon- Alloy etc etc...

Pls give me tons of Suggestions, I leave in DUBAI and the real Wrangler Knowledge here is very poor!

Thanks to All of you
LUCA

Running Ten Factory (Motive Gear) chromoly shafts in the rear in mine. Can't complain. Have been pleased thus far. You can get the rears set-up, ready to run, with the abs ring, bearings, and seals already pressed on, and I highly recommend doing so.

You're going to want to get a slide hammer (if you don't already have one) for when you go to change them out, makes the job a lot easier.

Happy Jeeping!

Where did you order them from that they came pre-assembled?

Several of the axle manufacturers offer this. Either themselves, or through their distributors, usually it is a $50USD upcharge.

I order all my parts through River City Offroad. Great guys, good prices, excellent customer service. Ships internationally:

Look at the RCV shafts, they have front and rear. IF you really want HD shafts you are going to have to change out your carrier so you can get bigger diameter splined shafts in there.

Yes understandable, but for the moment I need to remain on Standard diameter indeed; so I need to find the most "HD" Standard size and Diameter on the market.

In my opinion the RCV shafts are the best option out there. They're not the cheapest, but both improve performance while also providing a stronger axle shafts.

RCV's are the way to go for the front, for the rear I don't think there is going to be any great difference between chromoly shafts from any of the main companies (G2, Alloy USA etc.)
