High Altitude axles. Rubi or Mohave knuckles?

[IOS-XR]

I know the High Altitude comes with the wider axles, I’m assuming to give it a more stable ride. My question is do they have aluminum or iron knuckles? I’m planning on doing some minor upgrades. Rubi Fox shocks and either Falcon AT3W’s or BFG KO2’s. Just wondering what I have.

Put a magnet on it, but I'd be totally shocked if they used cast iron on that model. It's going to be aluminum.

Are you sure the high altitude has wide track axles? The only models I've ever heard of that get them are the rubicon, Mojave, and sport/sport s with the max tow package.

Easy way to confirm is just by looking at your window sticker under the standard equipment list, here's an example of a Rubicon with the wide axles listed.

aluminum

Yep, my sticker says wide axles. I kinda figured they’d be aluminum.

if they are silver they are aluminum. If they are black they are cast Iron. The diesel rubi comes with cast iron black knuckles. Pretty sure all gassers except Mojave come with alum.

I just went outside and looked. Black knuckles, so cast iron. Mine’s a diesel so that might matter. Also, based on the sticker it also has the HD brakes. Confirmed it has dual piston calipers up front. Looks like I got lots of good toys from the factory.

Seems fair to make the assumption all diesels and and Mojave's come with cast iron knuckles.

I have been curious what axle are used on the non Rubicon Diesel, and do they get to the cast iron inner and outer knuckles like on Mojave.

Yep, my gasser HA has silver/aluminum knuckles... And the heavy duty brakes most likely due to tow package...

 

[IOS-XR]

Yep. My HA is diesel with the tow package so that nails it.

My 2021 HA has Dana 210M wide on the front and 220M wide rear. I believe these are cast knuckles but just from a visual.
