which brand axle shafts?

04rubi · Aug 22, 2012

Got an 04 Rubicon with the 44's still under it. Runing 37" red's. Broke a superior chromo shaft in rear. Was wondering what would be a stronger shaft. Checked out rcv's and ouverson but don't think they mess with 44's. Any ideas?

30 spline?

I guess about all you could do is upgrade to 33 or 35 spline... or swap a differnt axle in

Rcv does make 44 shafts for the front

I think TJ rubicons are 31 or 32 spline, JKs are 33

TJ 44 and TJ Rubicon 44 are both 30 spline. I had a customer with a broken 10 Factory shaft in his Rubicon a week ago. I like Yukon personally.
