Default Rubicon front axle ARB replacement?
Has ARB (or anyone else for that matter) ever come out with a replacement locker for the front Rubicon axle?

Why would you want to replace it. The elockers are a lot stronger than the lockers in the older jeeps.

I think you can use a rear rubi carrier in the front with a custom set of RCV

Actually someone's already carrying an ARB for the front D44, but it's a 35 spline. David at Northridge was saying a while ago that he was gonna get a skid of replacements for the 30 spline from them. Just wondered if that ever happened.

This locker was just released. However it requires 35 spline shafts. I am having trouble sourcing everything, but it is now possible to run an ARB in a JK D44. The part number is ARBRD157. You may not be able to find it on any sites yet
