How We Build Super Strong Axles with ARB Lockers, Big Brakes & 4.56 Gears for the Jeep Wrangler JK!

[@justinm.791]

This mod is one I'm eventually going to undertake as well, though I'm going a bit deeper on the gearing.

What arb air locker you use in the rear? RD147 or RD157?

[@MountZionOffroad]

RD147 since it was a non-Rubicon housing

[@gcanaday1]

... heh. Passenger Eject. I can think of many things to hook up to that, some of them fit for public mention, some not so much XD

Love this shop

[@lcastill2013]

what was the cost for this axle upgrade?

[@MountZionOffroad]

An axle loaded with all these goodies, complete with new knuckles, brakes, and RCV shafts is around $7-8k for the front, and for the shafts gears and lockers it's about $2.5k in parts for the rear. These are rough numbers and does not include the labor for install.

Are you far from Maryland I hope not I’m coming with a diesel rubicon soon

[@MountZionOffroad]

We aren't too far from Maryland! Where are you from?!

What is the ball park price for a job like this

[@MountZionOffroad]

Axle builds like this can vary depending on exactly what modifications are completed. A good range is $10K -$15K for custom axles.
