If I fall short on cash and have to get the Wrangler X 4dr instead of the Rubi 4 dr... what are my disconnect options if I upgrade the front to a stock Jeep Dana 44 a year later?
Anything else I'll need? For the 44? I'm going to use 35" tires.
I have a family SUV
, so the JK going to be mostly off-road, camping, fishing, trails, etc... and a short trip to work everyday.
Also when searching dealer inventory for an X with a rear locker there are very few... Options here would be to add an after-market locker?
Thanks for the help

I did just what you are talking about doing!! I went with superlift disconnects because at the time they were the only ones coming in within 3 weeks ....that said : : I am not happy with them only because they take almost 10 minutes to disconnect and 10 minutes to reconnect....... In my opinion that is too long.....but they are a good quality product and I know the owner through a mutual friend..!!! He is a great guy and believes in customer service !!
Check some of the other manufacturers that have Quick Disconnects.!

$750
Thanks...
I just found an X with a rear Locker and front electro disco for $27,925... too soon for me though... and it's the first and only one I've seen with that configuration. The Rubi is 33,500...
Do the Jeep dealers bargain on these?

I have heard of many members talking about haggling and discounts on all models...... Back in June of 07 ...... I found no dealership willing to drop a penny off of sticker ( msrp ) ..![naw](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_naw.gif)
edit: on a side note I did not get those options on my X.... I did get other creature comforts and my sticker was $27,805

They are coming off there prices now, first dealer I have went to is down to $660 below invoice. They had a dealer mark up of $5000 over invoice, what a joke, they sure caved fast. The one I want is coming in in a few days, it has the locker rear and factory sway bar disconnects, 3.73 gears, and 6 speed, all a must. I frankly could not beleive that had one coming for me, the perfect rig, just not the color I wanted. I had to have power group to, I know, not a true Jeep options, but I like creature comforts.
