[QUOTE="TreeClimber, post: 1159158, member: 16101"] [b]Strictly my opinion. Reality is probably different[/b] Let's clarify. The Rubicon uses a D44 housing and shafts. These 30 spline shafts are reasonably strong to use wheeling, but an upgrade to Bobby's CV shaft is a huge improvement. The D30 used in the TJs are remarkably similar to the D44s used in the TJ-Rubicons. They differ in the size of the axle splines (and the corresponding side gears of the differential) AND they have a smaller ring and pinion (hence the D30 designation). Yes, you can upgrade a Dana30 with parts to allow the larger axle shafts to fit. And by so doing, I don't see why you couldn't run Bobby's shafts in a D30. However it's MY OPINION, that you've created a weak link in the Ring / Pinion if you were to install these shafts. So in reply... NO, the D30 does NOT have the same ring gear as a D44 [/QUOTE]
