jk 44 is a little different than a tj

It's still got the 30 tubes. It's not beefed up too much. Not enough for someone to feel perfectly fine on and wouldn't on the TJ Rubi 44. Are the shaft splines different? Same U-joints, right? 

Well, the JK Rubicon 44 has 32 splines to 30 splines on the TJ Rubicon 44. It also has a larger thick gear and a stronger electric locker compared to air locker on the TJs. So, 37"s on a JK Rubicon 44 is alot better of an option then 37"s on a TJ Rubicon 44. On JF, some Jeep engineers posted up about the axle and mention all the benefits and I'm trying to find it now.

Here is what they posted:

"The knuckles, tubes, and suspension brackets are just adaptation pieces to attach the axle to the vehicle. The part that makes it a 44 or a 30 or whatever is the parts that carry torque. The TJ Rubicon has the larger model 44 gear set and larger splined shafts and stonger U-joints at the wheel ends. The JK Rubicon got similar imporvments with the Model 44 (this time we got the high pinion) and 30 spline shafts and stronger U-joints (this time they got bigger and not just a material change)."

It says 30 splines while I have heard 32 splines, so I don't know.

ok i might make myself look stupid here but i could of sworn i read somewhere that Non Rubicon D44 is 30 and Rubicon model is 32 spline...  maybe... i just know if you want to by new axle shafts you have to pick which model you have.

For the rear, it is 30 spline for regular 44 and 32 for Rubicon. Not sure about the front whether it is 30 or 32. Maybe 30 inner and 32 outer. Not sure.

Truck looks good.  What are you doing with the old 33's.  I am trying to find some before the 15th.

Locked in the rear, getting better.
