Recon vs Rubicon Axles

Hey guys, I've got a couple questions that I'm hoping I can get some help with. I have a 2017 Rubicon Recon and have owned it for just over 3 years, and it's been a solid rig in all aspects. I'm currently running 35's with a 3.5" lift with other supporting mods (driveshafts, flipped drag link, etc) and want to go 37's but I'm just curious as to what the difference is between the Recon front axle and the Rubicon front axle, and will I need to truss it to run 37's? From what I visually make out, the Cs are a lot stouter, and the tubes do look bigger. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
 
I’m not sure if this applies to the JK. I know for a fact the JL XR has larger tubes and upgraded gear ratios, with iron knuckles. But I don’t know if this holds since he has a 2017.

Basically, after reading this what I've got out of it is that the tubes, C's and diff cover are all thicker. Which makes sense from what I can see compared to other Rubicon models.
