    Gear pattern opinion

    This is a LJ Rubicon Dana 44 rear, factory locker, 5.13 Revolution Gears. Stock .056 under pinion. Got backlash set up at .008. Coast side seems good, does it seem a tad deep on drive side?

    Rear Dana 44 question

    I pulled my rear axel apart to do gears. It didn’t have the large slinger between pinion and pinion bearing like in the front, there is a shim but much smaller diameter. Two of the pinion preload shims were tore up and the outer pinion bearing was loose on pinion. Just making sure not missing...

    Gear pattern question

    I’m doing revolution 5.13 in a LJ rubicon 44 front. For the pattern I have I added .007 under the pinion bearing while using the factory .055 slinger. I have backlash set at .008. It seems like the coast side could be a touch closer to the root but don’t love the sharp line on bottom of...

    Revolution Gear Question

    I am getting ready to do my gear install and had a question on the numbers etched in the pinion. They are revolution thick cut 5.13. There are two number in the pinion, 4.312 which I understand is the standard pinion depth of a Dana 44 and the other is 92 which I understand is the gear set ID...

    Gear Ratio Question

    I’m looking for opinions on what ratio to go with. We have a LJ Rubicon with NSG 370, 6 speed. It is on 35s. I was leaning toward 5.13 but considering 4.88. Looking for feedback on people with the same combination. Jeep is mainly my wife’s, summer vehicle, not crazy off-road use but also...

    Connecticut Rough Country Lift Parts

    I have the 4 inch lift I took off our LJ, upper and lower single adjustable control arms, springs, front track bar, rear sway bar extensions, the pitman arm for the drop track bar and most the hardware. The arms could probably use most the joints but are good otherwise. I replaced all mine...

    Rear sway bar question

    So I’m having some difficulty sorting this out. I am attempting to install my rockjock extended links in the rear. I had some previous extended links in the Jeep and the factory hardware is missing. I got a set of the shoulder bolts from Region off-road that say they are the mopar 6503726...

    Question on Rockjock sway bar links

    Hey there. Working on finishing up my Savvy/Rockjock lift. I got to the rear sway bar links. I am using the stock bar and the Rockjock extended links. My question is the directions say to use the stock hardware but the sizes don’t match up. The ID of the links is for a 14MM or a 9/16. The...

    Upper control arm track bar Mount question

    Does anyone have any good pictures or dimensions the proper orientation of the track bar/control arm mount for the left rear of a Rubicon Dana 44. In addition to the bubble gum welds this looks like it twisted to me prior to being re-welded. I would like to grind out, get back into position...

    Setting caster?

    Looking to make sure I’m right page. I found a schematic for TJ rubicon Dana 44 that shows there is a 13.6 degree caster offset from the pinion. So I calculated this to be pinion up 8.6 degrees to get 5 degrees caster. Measuring off the flats in the front of the center section. Does this...

    Rubicon axle shaft recommendations

    Hey guys, looking for a recommendation for good replacement axel shafts for a 2005 Rubicon Dana 44 front. I went to do U joints and the press for for the u joints is non existent. It’s my wife’s Jeep, it is not wheeled hard. Something of a stock replacement or mild upgrade would be fine...

    LJ sway bar

    Quick question for the group. I’m starting the process of swapping out the lift on my 05 LJ. I noticed that the sway bar is shifted to the right causing the end of the links to rub the drivers side frame. Am I missing collars or anything that centers the swaybar between the mounts? It is a...
