You'll need the required hardware to actuate the lockers.
Otherwise, they should bolt in and also give you an instant boost in gearing if you don't already have 4.10's. Your driveshaft lengths will change also.
Also, just make sure you are getting TJ rubicon axles. JK rubicon axles are now hitting the market, used, and new(for a pretty decent price for brand new axles), which are completely different
Good point, but would he care? Would JK axles actually not work under a TJ? Wouldn't he be replacing pretty much everything that would have been incompatible?
I'm going to make a non-educated guess that the suspension mounts would need to be cut off/reworked. The wheels would need to be replaced since the bolt pattern is different. He'd possibly need custom driveshafts since the joints are different, too.
And another non-educated guess that someone spending coin on rubicon axles wants to bolt them in, no fuss, no muss...
Regardless, the rear is discs, right? So the brake system should be given attention at that time, as well.
I assumed that he'd have to do something about his driveshafts anyway, but I wasn't thinking that the control arm mounts were going to be vastly different (dimensionally) than a TJ. I agree on the rear disc proportioning, but that might so complicated with the use of a JK prop valve.
And he could always buy Kennedy's wheels/tires if he feels like rolling the dice on getting them. :tonka:
Come on oke: give yourself a little more credit then that!! :sonicjay:
