I have a 99 TJ with a RE 5.5 lift and 35 tires. I'm think about swapping in Rubicon d44 axles but I have a couple of questions for the people that have done this....

1. Is the nose on the d44's the same lenght as the d30/35. Meaning is the centerline of the axle to the centerline of the yoke the same?

2. If you use the pumps from the Rubicon for air, where does the center wire (pink wire) from the pump connector go? Do you even need it? (I do not have the harness from the air pumps to the switches or relays)

3. Do the pumps continually run when engaged or do they shut off when 5-6 PSI is achieved and the lockers are locked? When you turn the pumps off does it bleed the remaining PSI from the lockers? (like the ARB's).

4. Does anyone have the schematics for the OEM locker/pump set-up from a 2004 Rubicon?

5. Did you have your driveshaft length changed? (I all ready have a Tom Wood CV setup in the rear for the RE 5.5 on the jeep now).

Thanks for your patients.
