I think that's where the "Hybrid" comes into play in solving speed sensors and ABS. You're using the stock JK hubs mounted up on the D60 Cs. So that all stays the same as stock. At least that's my current thought.

All of these issues have been solved by others. Yes, it's not plug and play, and will take some fabrication skills and equipment. But that's most of the fun.

Going with a JK bolt pattern on 1 tons is silly.

8 lug is definitely the way to go, and a free-float axle so you have have locking/unlocking hubs.

By the time you build any 60/14b or 60/60 or 60/10.5 to fit under your JK without issues...you're still going to be in the $8-10k ballpark. You're not saving any money going this route once you factor in the new brackets/Artec swap kit, tone rings, abs, steering, gears, lockers...but it would be sweet.

Yeah I haven't had to replace mine yet but when it goes this is the route I'll go instead of getting a new locker. My e locker has 135k miles on it and it's from 2010. Still works fine

I'm guessing Spicer must make that part for Mopar since the price difference between the two is only $5
