Same dimensions and all of the same brackets. The rubi axles will be direct bolt-ups for your sahara.

Do some research on aftermarket axles before you drop your load. Depending on the deal you get, buying a used rubi axle plus adding all of the strength upgrades could easily cost more than a pr44.

So the deal I found is a guy selling front and rear rubicon dana 44s with 5:38s electric lockers, teraflex HD covers and gussets with brakes. He's asking 3800 obo.

I have all factory so would have to do a lot of upgrading to them too. Is it just cheeper in the end to go PR44 from the start?
