I have a 2012 2dr Sport Auto with a 2.5 inch lift and 35" MTR-K's. In a moment of bad decision making a few months ago I picked up a pair of Rubi 44's w/4.10's complete, caliper to caliper with only a few hundred miles on them. I haven't done anything other than put them under the Jeep for a few thousand miles, no mods, haven't even wired the lockers yet. I'm now going to pull them back out this weekend, (putting my sport 30/44 back in) and try to re sell them for what I have in them, and replace with a non rubi PR44 & and ARB in the rear of my sport 44. It might be overkill for how I wheel my Jeep at this point, but I shouldn't have to worry about much about failures, and I would have a good base to build on and grow with.
I'm looking at a PR44 from Northridge, but they only build them with RCV's now. I know I've read a few guys don't care for them, as it can make the diff the weak link, but I'm unsure if that was with a 1310 or 1350 set up, or on what size tire. I spoke to Dynatrac and Northridge and they think the RCV's, 35's and a 1310 shaft is a good match. I know EVO will build them with Chromo's instead. The price works out to be a few hundred more from EVO with Chromo's vs. Northridge with RCV's. Dyna direct was around the same price as EVO, but plus shipping.
Dyna also recommended I go with the unlimited as I'm probably going to change my springs/shocks later on to EVO 3" plush rides.
At this point my shopping list is this,
Dyna PR44 w/ARB, pro steers, 1310 yoke, & ??? axles, still deciding on 4.56 vs 4.88.
Adam's 1310
Synergy adjustable LCA's
Synergy front track bar
ARB 30 spline rear on my non rubi rear 44, stock axle shafts for a bit, then chromo's?
And a sweet Dyna diff cover for the rear!
I already have an ARB CMKA12 compressor under hood that has the locker manifold and all switch wiring. I had air lockers in mind when I put that in, then got sidetracked I guess.
My future plans might now include 37's, but that is still a BIG maybe to even doubtful. After I recoup from this I will do a 1310 & arms on the rear, then probably start redoing my lift w/EVO 3" stuff. My Jeep is my DD, so I don't really beat on it, just want to be confident in driving it back home at the end of the day. Being broken in the middle of nowhere with my wife and daughter would be a bad day for me...pretty sure about that!
Does anyone have any suggestions or anything I'm missing for now? I have a really bad habit of doing stuff twice, and trying to save a few bucks up front and I'm tired of doing that. I'm going to bite the bullet, pay once, cry once, and be confident I did the right thing. I'm sorry this was a little long, just trying to give good info, so I can get good info, Thanks for the help all! :beer:
