I trashed my Dana 30 this summer and will eventually need to either fix or upgrade axle. See video below. My plan is to purchase a used Rubicon D44.

What parts are swappable between the D30 and Rubi 44?

Can I swap my knuckles, brakes and rotors onto the D44?

If I buy a JK D44 without a carrier and gears, do I have to purchase the JK carrier setup with factory E-locker or can I run an aftermarket locker or none at all?

Can I run standard D44 axles in a JK D44 if I purchase a standard carrier or am I limited to the JK specific carrier and axles?

Will the D44 bolt up in place of my D30?

yes, these are exactly the same.

you can install an arb air locker if you want, you just need to make sure that it's for a rubicon.

you will need to run JK specific shafts as they are a specific length and spline count.

yes

 

Cool. Thanks for the info!
