Will Gladiator Rubicon axles directly swap with Gladiator Sport axles? Are the brakes (caliper/disc) on the Sport the same as on a Rubicon and is the drive shaft the same length for both Rubicon and Sport. I realize the locker electric will need to be configured and that the Rubicon axles are wider by an inch. I am looking at getting a set of Rubicon Gladiator 4.10's/locker take off axles and swapping out the Sport 3.73 non locker axles. Thanks for the information.

Should be a direct swap. The only difference is the axle width. You would have to use the drag link and tie rod from the Rubi.

As Rusty said add Rubi tie rod and drag link and the Rubi axles bolt in. I used the Lasfit aux switches for a factory look and operation. I have had the axles in for a year now and all has been good.
