While researching for winter/spring projects I have become so confused on locker options and PR44 housing differences that I just thought I would post my goal here and hopefully you can set me straight.
Both the wife and I have JKs. My plan was to get a PR44 to replace the Rubicon axle in my Jeep and move my axle (everything still works great) over to her sport. My dilemma begins with what housing do I want to get? I would like to keep common shafts between both our axles for the sake of spares (I'm not really a fan of RCV for reasons I won't get into here). While my factory e-locker still works, I am concerned for the options should it fail and keeping the 30 spline shafts. I would like to just switch to an ARB but I don't see that as an option. Someone please help my get this all straight. I figure if I'm confused someone else likely is as well.
Side note/question: I broke my rear factory locker and replaced it with an ARB RD157. Then I was reading the FAQs on the Dynatrac site and it seems you do not suggest this locker as it will not set up correctly. Is this only an issue with the front? I was able to set my rear up (while it was a PITA) pretty well.
