Rubicon Dana 44 or Dana 30s - Jeep Wrangler Forum
Sep 16, 2020 · "The bad news is that Rubicon Dana 44 axle is a mix between a Dana 30 and a Dana 44. Yes, the Rubicon 44 has a larger (and stronger) 8.5-inch ring gear, and better 30-spline shafts.

axle help, 4.88, dana 44, etc. | Jeep Wrangler Forum

The D44 is just the type of axle - like the Rubicon has a Dana 44 up front and in the rear. The type of axle is semi-independent of the gear ratio (some axles have more options for gear ratios).
