Are the Rubicon Dana 44s difficult to find parts for?

Re: Are the Rubicon Dana 44s difficult to find parts for?
Bill, I'm a little confused ... I thought that the carrier and center
housing would be the same for a Dana 44, and wouldn't differ for
standard gear ratios, like a a carrier for a 3.73 would be identical
to a carrier for a 4.10. Isn't the ring and pinion all that's
changing? The difference isn't obvious to me, sorry.
My real question is:
If I get my hands on a Rubicon front Dana 44 housing, am I going to
have dificulties finding a carrier/ring/pinion/axleshafts for it?
I'd be inclined to use a complete Dana 44 front axle out of a Rubicon
(with the TrueLock)if they are reliable. I've not heard of problems
with them thus far...
It sounds like I wouldn't need to do any fabrication, cause it should
bolt right into my 01 TJ.

No problems. Those parts will fit.
