Are you sure about the shaft diameter being the same? I thought the 32 spline shafts were larger. Here is a pic of a 32 spline Rubi shaft compared to a 30 spline TJ 44 shaft and the 32 spline shaft definately looks larger:
Another problem to keep in mind when considering swapping from a standard 44 shaft to a Rubi 44 shaft is length. The standard 44 uses equal length shafts and the Rubi doesn't, as verified by Piginajeep. THis could cause fitment issues when mixing and matching components.

I was going by the axle seal part# being the same. You're absolutely right about not mixing the two. If you want stronger non Rubi shafts, right now I think you've gotta go through Superior.
