Front axle replacement

[evervas]

I got a wreked gladiator to repair for my personal use, long story, now I'm looking for a front axle replacement, it is a 2020 Rubicon, front axle assembly seems to be out of stock everywhere,. I can get a good dealer on a JL front axle with the 4.10 ratio and locker

Do you think front axle will fit, I understand gladiator have a stronger axle, but I need to know if the size is the same and the mounting points match.

Any input is appreciated!

I believe the JL Rubicon axles are the same as the JT Rubicon.

Depending on budget, take a look at the dynatrac 44 front axle. Much beefier and gets rid of the FAD.

Front Axle Disconnect.

you can sometimes find them for sale used from people who put larger axles on

Gladiator axle is wider than JL. I've seen JT Rubicon axles for sale locally in the paper.

This is not correct. Axle widths are trim specific, and there is overlap between the JT and the JL. I'm currently using the right front axle shaft from a JL Rubicon in my JT Rubicon (after breaking mine).

Looks like the difference lies in rubicon versus non-rubicon...I appreciate the correction

Sport S with MAX TOW has the wider axle, too. Sport/Sport S without max tow and Overland have the less wide axles.
