Long time Jeeper confused by JL axles updates. It seems that the 3.73 gears are no longer available and we are left with 3 options. Rubicon 4.10's or all else in 3.45 with or without a limited slip (Dana44) I have always opted for the 3.73's on my TJ's / JKU even my CJ's.
I ordered a Sahara as a base to start as Im not a fan of the red dash or high line fenders. I did order the limited slip in the rear. I've seen a number of folks go with the 2" mopar and 35's on their Sports or Sahara's. That said, my question is weather or not the 3.45's can handle a 35" tire? My JKU sat great with 2" mopar and 285/75/16s. I typically like running with 33's - but all of the 2" JL suspensions I have seen seem much higher then previous generation upgrades. Given the amount of well space, the 33 seems like it would be underwhelming.
Are folks going to 35's on Sport / Sahara's doing gears as well?
