I would not waste my money on that axle. For slightly more the pro rock 44 would be a better deal because from what I am reading the tubes on the G2 are the same thickness as the regular D44 and they will just bend with big tires.
Don't plan on wasting any money on it. When the time comes I'll be going with a PR44. Just comparing prices and options, since I've never called Dynatrac to price a PR44 to the penny. I won't call them until I'm good and ready to order. The G2 is just something new I saw when I opened the catalog

Stock JK Axle 2.5” OD x 0.25” = 1.0
Stock JK Axle with 2.0" OD x 0.25" sleeve on inside of tube = 1.35
Dynatrac JK Trail Series – Stock JK Pumpkin with re-tube to 2.75" OD x 0.375" = 1.79
Dynatrac ProRock 44 Standard Axle Tube 3.0" OD x 0.3125" = 2.13
Dynatrac ProRock 44 Extreme Duty Axle Tube 3.0" OD x 0.5" = 2.82
Oh okay. :thumb: It looks like it could be nice if it would be a little bit thicker in the tubes.
The Core 44 tubes are 3" x 5/16" thick vs 2.5" x 1/4" thick OEM Dana 44......you can read up on the Core 44 here:

Personally I'm going with Dynatrac 60/80 when the time comes......I have 25k on the JKU now so when the front finally goes then I'll make the switch...

Correcting my post above if the Core 44 is made of 5/16" instead of 1/4" (Quadratec lists one thing, the article lists another).
If the Core is 5/16th, then its exactly the same as the standard Dynatrac Prorock 44 housing at 2.13 times stronger than stock.
Dynatrac is 3" tube diameter x 1/2" thick vs. 3" tube diameter x 5/16" thick of the Core 44.......Dynatrac is 3/16" thicker which would leave me to believe it is also stronger as well......8/16" = 1/2"........8/16" - 5/16" = 3/16"

The 1/2" thickness is not standard on a PR44. Its a couple hundred dollar upgrade. Not that it should matter when you're getting ready to drop 4-5k on an axle, but it does cost more for that extra 3/16"
