I know the JK d30 uses the same ARB's as TJ d30, but......
...what about the shafts? is the JK the same track width as the TJ? will the shafts fit or is the JK a wider track? What is the WMS TO WMS for the JK front axle?. Sorry for all the Q's but trying to hook up a friend who owns a JK with some parts

the Jk's 61.9 stub to stub.
the TJ"s 61
If they we're the same, Axle companies such as Superior would already have them out. They are just now getting them done for the D30 760 U-joint.
On the JK rubicon it has a larger U-joint. Its like a 760 U-joint, same size cap, its just longer than the 760.

Ok, 61.5, I read two different measurement online for the TJ. I went with the one I seen the most, Either way its different.
No idea, maybe so people would have to buy Mopar and not after market?
I have a stub shaft from my D30. If you want me to measure or take some pictures. I dont know the difference.
theres also issues with using ARB lockers in the rubicon's. the stock e-locker has an offset locating pin, unlike the aftermarkets. So if you run an ARB in the JK axle shafts will binding up.
(Call superior about using the ARB on the D30. I talked to them yesterday and found out the info above)

Rubicons have D44's not D30's. he is asking about D30's. the arb will work in the JK 30 but the shafts are different.

Did you not read the whole thread and see I was not just talking about the D30?
