I bought a 03 Sahara with a 2.5 inch lift and 33 about 7 months ago. I was able to get a complete set of Rubicon axles from a 04 . Will it be a straight bolt right in? I do have a SYE drive shaft in it now but I also have the 04 Rubicon drive shafts too. I will be wiring the compressor independently and have read some of the post on that. Any other information will be appreciated. Thanks

Check out this thread, it will have everything you need
But front drive shaft shortened, conversion U-joints and a drum to caliper kit was all I needed when I did mine.
Threw a set of Rubi 44's in an SE last year and everything else was bolt in otherwise.

x2 Plug and play other than the shafts which in my case needed to be shortened. Lockers are fairly easy since they only have a positive/negative. (I put mine on the abs tray) I also wired the locker sensor on the axle to a light in the dash under my locker switch so I know when it is on. I would highly recommend doing the same since it helped me once detect a leaking pump.

Yep bolt in as stated. I have an 04 rubicon axle in mine. Worked perfectly with my DC shaft that was already installed
