How many posts have you seen on bent D44 front axles on JK's. Wouldn't it be nice to buy a Rubicon and not have to spend thousands $$$ upgrading the front axle? It's hard to buy a Rubi at less than $40K. For that kind of money we shouldn't be having to spend big dollars on an immediate axle upgrade. You've all seen the post: There are 3 kinds of JK front axles. Those that are bent. Those that will bend. Those that never go off road. We need to start making enough noise that Jeep/Chrysler FCA actually takes action. And yes, I am familiar with the pending Articulink improvement. That will not address the inherent thin axle tubes, or untrussed C's, used in both the D30 and the D44
