Axle Swap ?
Ok guys im picking up a new 2012 sport today to replace my 2010 rubi. The sport has the 321s which wont cut it with my 35s so is there anyone out there with experience swapping dana 30 axles with the rubi axles? Is there anything I need to know or extra parts needed like driveshafts etc? I searched a bit for a write up but was unsuccesful. Im hoping its just bolt on bolt off. Any help appreciated. Thanks

This is what I was afraid of. I was hoping I can get away with the stock ones until they wore out. Can I use my rubi driveshafts? Will they fit on the sport transfer case?

Anyone else have any experience doing this type of axle swap? From my understanding I need to use the driveshafts from the old rubi to put on the new sport and get the kit for the elockers. Anything else I should know?

Thanks I guess ill just have to size them up during the project. Does anyone know if there is some type of manual switch for the elockers? Dont want to bother to run wiring to put a switch in the jeep just want to cut the cable and rig something on the underside by the differential. I remember reading somewhere there is a kit for that for people looking to install rubi axles on their sports

Is the dealership fine with you trading in a Rubi without lockers, and a D30 upfront?
Pretty sure you are going to have to run some type of wire into the cab for the lockers. For one,they are electronic lockers so you are going to have to get electrical power from somewhere. Plus, are you going to get out of the Jeep everything you need to flip your lockers on and off?
