It's possible but I don't think so based on their pic (below) and RPM's pics...

Perhaps you'll ask Fusion?

They both look well made.

They both look well made.

Beefy for sure - very stout

Mind if I ask what the shop charged for the front axle kit? I can stick metal together but not good enough for that

This is a much more economical alternative over the Pro Rock 44 at about $4,200.00 how I priced it.

I couldn't agree more. I will be doing this for my JT as well.

I’m now running the Yukon 4.88 gears with 37x12.50/R17 tires - runs great!

The Gladiator runs - performance and transmission-wise, great, just like it did stock - it'll hold 8th gear on the freeway (when not climbing) as it should. And my MPGs have improved so now I'm getting 32MPGs (just kidding). MPGs are OK - I am driving a lifted aerodynamic brick on 37" tires - but my MPGs are as close to stock as they'll be with the JEEP set up this way.

If you're running 37's or taller tires I highly recommend re-gearing your JEEP.

In addition to the Yukon 4.88 gears I got the Yukon HD Differential Covers, front & rear

Thought I'd post a pic of the suspension, steering upgrade and the Yukon Diff Cover...
