So this is the Jantz kit on a commercial scale? Does it work with stock TJ Rubicon Lockers? I have been looking and I haven't seen a definitive answer. I'm assuming these require the same housing clearancing as well?

Either way, I'm excited and when it's time to regear my LJ Rubicon, I would really like to use the JK gears.

It works with any aftermarket 3 series locker, (3.73 & down). Since all JK gears are “thick." As for grinding inside the housing, it's possible that yours might require that. We have many done installs at our shop that haven't required any grinding yet on the Rubicon housings. We actually installed this setup in our own TJ several years ago, so yes it was our own Idea.
