Hey everyone, I had a question for you all. I'm about to order a '15 and dont know whether to get the Rubi or a sport due to the fact that i want 40's. will the 44 front handle 40's or should i just get a sport and get 60's? thanks for the info in advance

I'd much rather have the 60's and a sport as well.

If I bought a Rubi, it wouldn't stay one very long because I'd replace all the Rubicon parts for other aftermarket stuff anyway. :p

yup, if you are set on a monster truck set up go with the sport and build the 60s, not that money is anything to you since you can apparently afford 60s

40" tires will take a lot of lift. If you had a Rubi, that would mean that not only do you have the same "weak" (weak being a relative term) axle tubes and Cs and ball joints as the OEM Sport, but you have to modify the axles to accommodate that much lift height. I'd say get the Sport and go for the 60s, built for the lift you will have. Just a thought: You're probably going to trash much of your warranty--or are you just thinking out a few years (that's a rhetorical question--your own business what you want to do).
