For a long while, the 35sp ARB with 35sp shafts was the only non-factory option for the rubi housing. I would think that quite a few people are running them vs buying another seriously over-priced factory locker.

Ok, so i have a mostly stock 2012 Unlimited Rubicon that i am going to put 37's on. Im putting the C gussets on this next week and when i get tires im going to regear to 5.13 (sorta still debating on that or 4.88 still need to read more i guess), but what im having trouble understanding is the whole sleeving idea. What exactly is the point of sleeving? Would it be better to just buy 2 new axle shafts or is it to keep the front d44 from bending? Thanks alot Guys

How about these.
Ultimate Dana 44 CV Axle Set for Jeep JK Rubicon
You're saying they won't fit? Says they are made for the the rubicon housing with a 35 spline carrier.
The only issues I have seen are with these shafts not playing nice with dynatrac balljoints.
