Carbon Rear Dana 44 32 Spline Axle Kit, Jeep Wrangler JL / Gladiator JT Rubicon (Carbon Offroad, part no. C0012)
Bigger tyres, a locker and harder launches put more torque through the rear shafts, and factory ones can snap where you least want them to. Carbon Offroad is MetalCloak's axle brand: shafts in 4140 chromoly steel, dual heat treated.
MetalCloak states they are over 80% stronger than stock. The kit includes both the left and right shafts.

Before you order

- MetalCloak: fine with ~40" tyres; for 42" it recommends a wider full-float axle because of side loads.
- US-imported vehicles may have a different axle configuration than the model suggests — check the axle tag / VIN or ask us first.
