Default only 61.9" ????

I saw a listing on Ebay recently for a JK Rubi D44 front axle. The thing is, it said it "only" measured 61.9" wide. I thought our axles were about 64" or 65". I think TJ axles are about 60". I'm pretty sure they're not TJ d44's, because the bolt pattern was listed as 5x4, not 5x4.5. Also, it was equipped w/ electric lockers, and the TJ ones had air lockers.

Has anybody actually measured the actual width while they had the wheels/tires removed?

That sounds like great deal, and they are from a very reputable dealer. I bought my JK form them even though they are 350 miles away. Man, I WANT THAT AXLE!

The JK axles are 63 from wms to wms (wheel mating surface). They probably measured from the end of the tube. JK bolt pattern is 5on5.

The ebay listing does say the bolt pattern is 5 on 5. I think 2K1TJ hit the wrong key.
