Rubicon carrier locker offset?

[sierradmax]

Is anyone familiar with the offset the Rubicon axles have? I'm looking to add yukon grizzly's to both Rubicon axles (front and rear), using factory shafts. ECGS claims only OX and ARB make lockers compatible. Supposedly, the offset would limit shaft spline engagement on one side and push the axle shaft outboard on the other.

I believe you are referring to a carrier break?

No. I'm aware of the carrier break.

Don't know the answer to your question, but I ran the Eaton Elocker in my Rubicon axles with no issues. So, the OX and ARB is not the only lockers that work. I am not sure of what my actual spline engagement was, but I never had issues due to inadequate spline engagement.

Perhaps the carrier offset is ONLY related to JK axles and the tech at ECGS is not aware.

I'm pretty sure aftermarket Dana 44 shafts for a TJ Dana 44 will fit either Rubicon or non-Rubicon housings and carriers, so I suspect that any difference between the two in the "offset" I think you're referring to would be non-existent or insignificant.
