Front diffs KJ's & KK's

[AlexKJ]

Hi... searching the Web I found a couple of things, that can be summarized in this 2 posts

The KK's (2008+ Liberty's) are even more capable than the KJ's they replaced. Same strong 3.7l engine, 42RLE transmission (as used by pretty much every auto Jeep out there), NP231 T-case, 8.25 29 spline rear axle, and an (improved over the KJ) Dana 30M front axle. The front axle has more gearing options, and can handle up to 33" tires with a 2.5" lift. There's at least one or two companies making rockrails and other armor for the KK's too IIRC.

anything that fit a JK dana30 will fit the KK as far as gear and lockers. I curently have a jk diff housing with a driver side bent tube that I got for 20$. I will modify it to bolt on my KK

Have this any relation with the diff case that Marlin sells?

Cheers!

Anybody?

No....the steel JBA is a replacement for a D30A, not a D30.

Whoever wrote that is incorrect. the KK does not have an NV231 transfer case.
