Designed for compatible Jeep Gladiator JT Sport Max Tow and Mojave models equipped with the specified Dana 44 front axle and factory Front Axle Disconnect system.

Required Axle Configuration:

• Compatible Jeep Gladiator JT Dana 44 front axle.
• 32-spline inner and outer axle shaft configuration.
• Factory-style unit bearing assembly.
• Factory Front Axle Disconnect system retained.
• Two-piece FAD-compatible axle shaft arrangement.

Front Axle Disconnect Compatibility:

• Designed to retain factory FAD operation.
• Uses an upgraded coupler manufactured from aircraft-grade materials.
• Bronze bushing replaces the factory plastic-style bushing.
• Designed to operate with the factory FAD module without additional programming or calibration.
• One-piece FAD eliminator configurations are separate applications.

Known Incompatibilities:

• Jeep JK Dana 44 front axles.
• Jeep Gladiator JT front axles with incompatible spline counts or shaft lengths.
• Applications requiring a one-piece FAD eliminator instead of factory FAD retention.
• Modified or axle-swapped housings with incompatible wheel-end components.

Important Fitment Notes:

• Verify the installed axle model and spline configuration before ordering.
• Confirm the factory Front Axle Disconnect system is present and compatible.
• Check axle shaft lengths on modified or axle-swapped vehicles.
• Engine configuration alone does not establish axle compatibility.
• The supplied warranty information states that tires larger than 43" void the manufacturer warranty.

Builder Note: The Gladiator JT Sport Max Tow and Mojave use application-specific Dana 44 front axle configurations, making shaft lengths, spline counts, and Front Axle Disconnect compatibility important when selecting replacement axle shafts. This RCV Ultimate CV set upgrades the factory U-joint design while retaining the specified FAD system. Confirm the complete axle configuration before installation.

What Jeep Gladiator models does this RCV Ultimate CV axle set fit?

This axle set is designed for compatible Jeep Gladiator JT Sport Max Tow and Mojave models equipped with the specified Dana 44 front axle and factory Front Axle Disconnect system. Verify the axle and shaft configuration before ordering.

Will these RCV axle shafts retain the factory Front Axle Disconnect?

Yes. The two-piece FAD-compatible configuration is designed to retain the factory Front Axle Disconnect system without requiring additional programming or calibration in compatible applications.

What is the difference between the FAD and FAD eliminator versions?

The FAD-compatible version retains the factory Front Axle Disconnect system using a two-piece shaft configuration. A FAD eliminator uses a one-piece axle arrangement intended for builds removing the factory disconnect function.

Are RCV Ultimate CV axle shafts stronger than factory Gladiator shafts?

RCV designs its Ultimate CV axle shafts to deliver up to twice the strength of OEM shafts. The enlarged constant velocity joint design also maintains consistent torque transfer through increased steering angles where conventional U-joints can become more vulnerable to binding and failure.

What spline counts are used in this RCV axle set?

The supplied specifications identify 32-spline inner axle shafts and 32-spline outer stubs for compatible Gladiator JT Sport Max Tow and Mojave Dana 44 front axles.

How much steering angle can the RCV Ultimate CV joints handle?

RCV's supplied product information identifies a steering angle of up to 45 degrees, with the CV joint designed to maintain full strength through that range. Actual available steering angle depends on the vehicle's steering and axle configuration.

Does this kit include both front axle shafts?

Yes. The kit includes left and right RCV Ultimate CV axle shaft assemblies, outer stubs, SST seals, installation hardware, synthetic moly grease, and installation instructions.

What is the advantage of the RCV bootless CV joint design?

The sealed, bootless CV design eliminates conventional external rubber CV boots and factory U-joints. This reduces exposure to boot damage from rocks and trail debris while providing smooth torque transfer through the steering range.

Does this axle set include upgraded FAD components?

The supplied product information identifies an upgraded aircraft-grade coupler design and bronze FAD bushing. Confirm the exact components included with the selected RCV kit before ordering.

What tire size is covered under the RCV warranty?

The supplied product information states that the manufacturer warranty is void when used with tires larger than 43". Warranty eligibility is subject to RCV Performance's current terms.

Can these RCV axles be used on street-driven Jeep Gladiators?

Yes. The constant velocity design provides smooth torque transfer during steering, making the axle set suitable for compatible Gladiator JT builds used on-road and off-road when properly installed and maintained.
