Just curious, did you figure out why yours has the wide axles then?
I measured my neighbor's Rubi and confirmed that mine has narrow axles. Reason why i have 1/2" more threads showing is because the tie rod bar is 2.5" (39.5") shorter than the Rubi one (42").

I thought all diesels had the wide axles..
Nope, looking at a new Willie’s diesel with the narrower axle, just like my Sport

Apex has great customer service!
Received the wide axle connecting rod from Apex and completed the install today. Much better with 3" of threads engaged. Still has enough threads for up to 3/4" toe-in adjustment.

Note: Connectting rod measured 39.5" for narrow and 41.5" for wide axle.
