I'm pretty sure this swap is straight forward, but are there any items I should upgrade on the case before installing it?

 

I assume you have already ensured its swapping from an automatic to an automatic or manual to manual?

 

Yes it is an auto from an 08 going into an auto 07.

 

Does not matter if it's a stick or auto they cross over , just make sure they are the same case

Off my head they all cross over execpt the 2012 and up

 

Do you already have the t-case? Since yours is an auto, the Rubi-crawler range box is a pretty nifty idea.

 

You should look into installing the teraflex 2lo in to the transfer case before you install it.

 

I would second this idea. Great for when you are on the pavement and need that extra low gearing, but don't want to accidentally break a front axle shaft ( know too many people at boat ramps that this has happened to by putting their Jeep in 4LO to pull boat up ramp.)

 

I do not have the rubi case yet. Will be picking it up Saturday. I like the rubi-crawler. But didn't like the gearing choices you get with the x case. Since the rubi-crawler low and my current low are both 2.72:1. I was thinking about adding a rubi-crawler after the rubi case and after ditching the dana 30.

I'm not going to install the 2-lo kit. Simply because my long term plans are to add the rubi-crawler. I would then have a 2.72:1 2-lo.

 

You do realize your crawl ratio will be ridiculously low with a rubi case and a rubi crawler range box? 2.72x4.1x whatever your gear ratio will be. And with a Rubi-crawler will have a lower low range than a standard Rubicon t-case.

 

You don't have to have the super low combo ratio. You can pick and choose.

Rubi 4.1 only
Rubi 4.1 x crawler 2.72
Crawler 2.72 only

Crawler can be used in 2wd and 4wd.

So, you get the best of both worlds with the added SUPER low of having about a 10.xx low when everything is engaged.
