Yeah, not criticizing the Rubi Dana 44. Axle tubes are primarily designed for load carrying and the stock Wrangler has no need for heavier tubes. Just wanted a clarification. Lots of comments claim the Rubi Dana 44 is beefed up in all areas. Start doing crazy things like jumping a Wrangler tho and a full size Dana 44 might be a good idea.The front Dana 44 basically IS a Dana 30 except that it has the Dana 44 pumpkin (which is actually a very good thing if you plan on running upgraded axle shafts and bigger tires since the stock Dana 30 pumpkin can only handle so much).

I am going to take a look under my jeep sport this weekend and see what rear axle i have. more likely than not i will have dana 35s on the rear, but i know that for the 2002, the 44s were an option... i am really hoping that the previous owner got 44s...
Just curious... did you win the Dana44 lottery when you looked?I am going to take a look under my jeep sport this weekend and see what rear axle i have. more likely than not i will have dana 35s on the rear, but i know that for the 2002, the 44s were an option... i am really hoping that the previous owner got 44s...
