maybe conversion joints on the driveshafts?

air supply for the lockers, unless you got that with the axles from the original rubi

I'm using the stock one after going to rear disks. It's the same part number as the ones used in the TJs that came with rear disk brakes.

Not sure but you might need to get a new rear driveshaft. If i remember correctly the rubicon transfer case has a fixed rear yoke, and you TJ unless modified, has a slip yoke, so the rear driveshaft won't work. Even if you do have the proper length/style of rear drive shaft you may still have to change the ends, as mentioned before.

Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as the rear Drivshaft goes the only difference is at the transfer case. So if he is only swapping axles the Driveshaft will only need to have the length adjusted since the axle's both have 1350 at the pinion yolk. HTH.

I believe you are correct. Somehow I managed to confuse myself. I'm not sure why I decided he was swapping Tcases too. If only doing the axles all you should need is to have the length adjusted, but that might not even be required.
