odds are if you told us the specs on your jeep some one here would tell you what it should have in it asuming it is stock parts.


O buy the way congrats :biggrin:

My Jeep is a 2004 Wrangle X it has the 4.0L engine with a AEM Brute Force induction system.  It also has other mods that are more body than any thing else.  It does have Summit Diff guards.  I do not really think the past owner did any thing other that the looks stuff.

most likely you have a dana 30 front and a dana 35 rear.
I do not think that a 44 was offered to the "X"

Thanks to both of you guys for the info.  Now all I need to do is figure out what type of lockers are going to the best in my Jeep.

You've got a 30 in front and I do believe you could get an X with a 44 in the rear. Metal fill plug is easy way to tell if it's a 44 in back if it's 35 rubber fill plug.  

I'll second ARB's but a pocket locker like LockRight is cheaper and is a good choice on a budget.
