I know the gear ratios for non-rubicon JKs is 3.21:1. The Rubicon version runs 4.10:1. The non-rubicon front will be a HP Dana 30, the rear a D44. These axles are somewhat strange, with a 5 on 5 bolt pattern and wider than stock XJ widths.

It has a 44 in the rear of the 4 door(non Aluminum) and a D35 in the rear of the 2 door.
And there not what I would call a "True 44" the a hydread the ring and pinion on the D30, D35 and D44 are all bigger than what we know to be true D30, D35 and D44. There also wider than the D30, D35 and D44 in the MJ, XJ, YJ, TJ, and ZJ that we all are use to seeing and using.. Plus the lack of rim choices do to 5 on 5 bolt circles sucks..
