FYI.. I spoke to the Mopar and Spicer folks at SEMA. The axles have started to shipping to dealers. Mopar dealers are getting the first batch. Third party companies like us or Northridge should have them by the end of the year. Here are the details.

8 Lug 4.88 or 5.38 gears options Elocker and ABS is plug and play. Warn Hubs Front High Pinion, Rear Low Pinion Pricing is 11k for the pair. 4k rear, 7k front.

If you get them from MOPAR they say JEEP on the diff cover. If you get them from SPICER they say Dana60. Spicer is working with Jeep to do a limited production run (1,000) of Jeep JKs with these axles installed. Some sort of super rubicon. Look for that possibly in 2016 to boost sales before the 2017s arrive.
