I read alot that says these are God's gift to front axles if you dont need a d60. They're expensive though. Oh well, my kids dont need to go to college! :beer::cheesy::thumb: (just kidding)

Are there ARB's that accept factory JK Rubicon axle spline shafts or do they require shafts with an alternate spline count?

just to give you guys the info the lockers in the rubicon always have been electric lockers, i know in 2006 they offered a lift kit and a 32 inch tire package that would not void the factory warranty and i have heard of guys running 35s on them with no real issues, but if you are going with anything bigger then 33s you will want to regear cause that 4.0 will start struggling, so as you regear you put in air arbs and call it good

Not sure if anyone has pointed it out yet, I am pretty sure the lockers on the TJ Rubicons were air not electric. Anyone able to confirm?

Edit: I see it has been confirmed, duh shoulda read ALL the posts first.

They use the Dana 60 on 1-ton vehicles, the 80 comes on the heavier duty like the dodge 3500 (though they did put it on the diesel and the v-10 2500 trucks i think) and the Ford f-350/450

I don't know what they call them though (not sure what are 1-ton axles and what heavier duty axles would even be called)

the 60 was used in the rear for 3/4 tons and on the front for 1 tons and the 450s and 550 fords used a beefed up version of the 60 but if you want all that housing strength might as well upgrade your diff while you are at it, 2500, and 3500 dodges with the v-10 and diesel used the dana 80 until 2005 i think, then they went to the 11.5 inch ring gear AAM (chevy 14 bolt) and from 2002 and up 2500 and 3500 chevys with the 8.1 gas and 6.6 diesel used it as well, so yeah a dana 60 rear could be called a one ton but it really isnt (dana 70 and 80s are) however the 10.5 inch ring gear 14 bolt is considered a 1 ton cause it was in 1 ton trucks, once again if any of my information is incorrect please politely correct me and that will be that :thumb:

Cool, thanks. I just remember bits about them but didn't really know the differences
 
The 3/4 dodge 4x4 with the cummins engine also used 70 rears. Idk about the gas 3/4 for sure. The dana 80s were generally dually axles. The 14 bolt came factory in gm 1/2 and 3/4 tons as a semi float axle, so it is a weaker axle. The full float 14 bolt came in 3/4 and one ton trucks, vans, buses, etc. and were also a dually option.

Rear 60s are weaker, believe the pinon gear runs on the coast side of the ring gear which makes it weaker. Correct me if I'm wrong, can't remember for sure.

This is all referring to factory axles. Obviously axles like dynatracs are stronger.

havent seen the dana 70 on dodge diesels but i have seen them on the non v-10 gas duallys, also i have seen the dana 70 on chevy gas duallys ( i have one actually) and your right about the 9.5 inch ring gear 14 bolt they are much weaker and i really dont like them. my work has a 95 dodge 2500 with the cummins and it has the dana 80 but thanks for the added info :thumb:
