Default Locker Options for Rubi Front Dana 44

Outside of the factory e-locker and upgrading to a 35 spline count ARB locker and RCV shafts, are there any other options we have? I am shocked that no one makes a 35 spline count shaft other than RCV and I believe the lower spline lockers like the ARB 30 spline won't work in a front Rubi d-44 housing. Is this correct? Do we have no other options or am I missing something?

OX has a Rubi replacement version that still uses 30 sp shafts.

Thanks! I'll take a look. A buddy of mine just scored a Rubi 44 front housing for cheap and he is going to build it up to replace his d30. He was trying to avoid either driopping big bucks on a factory e-locker or going with ARB and needing to basically double the cost of upgraded axle shafts (chromoly vs RCV). This wil give him another potential option. I know that once my factory locker craps out, I'm going to be replacing everything with a PR44.

We are having trouble finding the Ox locker. Their website only seems to have the non-rubi 44 listed. Does anyone have a part number or link?


Edit*** Never mind. Found it on 4 wheel parts its part number OXLD44-JKR-30
