Non-Rubicon Rear D-44 Locker Options / Discussion
Ok, so here it goes...
I have a 2011 Sport, front dirty 30 and rear 44 (Non-Rubicon) obviously. I want an E-Locker for the rear 44 and also want to re-gear to 4.88's. I am replacing my front 30 to a ProRock 44 later on in the year, but want a locker and upgraded shafts in the rear ASAP.
So my real question is, is there an E-Locker that will work with upgraded shafts (not sure if they make many E-Lockers for 32 spline?) with 32 spline shafts that will also work with my stock 3.73 gears? I do not want to do a gear swap until I get the ProRock in the front.
Can I get a locker that will work with 3.73 and then also be compatible with 4.88 gears all the while using 32 spline shafts? Do I need to keep the 30 spline shafts?
I hope this is not too hard to understand what I am asking, and would like to toss some options around because I'm sure there might be better alternatives and/or other Jeepers that are in the same situation to some extent.
** I do not want to get an air locker after much consideration. (Looked into Super 44 kit already). Something to do with leaking seals after wheel slip / catch, so I am leary.
Thanks in advance,

I know you said you didn't want an air locker, but check out the Yukon Ziplocker. They provide a no questions asked warranty on the locker AND anything else that gets damaged up to $2000. You also get on board air and a proven system. I don't have it front of me but I think the spec is 3.73 gears and above.
Thanks for the input man. I think my e-locker dreams are just about laid to rest now, unless I do 30 spline OX.
I really wanted to upgrade shafts but Ive been told the only options are 30 or 35 spline.
I might just do the air locker thing with the ARB Super 44 kit and try it out. Hopefully it is as bad ass as everyone says it is.

I thought about doing that, but there is just too much stuff I do on a weekly basis (ice fishing, wheeling, etc..) that I need 4x4 to accomplish. If I lived in a warm area with no snow, that is exactly what I would be doing!
