Lol. A lot of them have been going that way lately it seems.

Lmao that is great.

Just my two cents....
Installed a PR44u with ARB before we did the Rubicon and we are running 37s. Rear was completely stock and OPEN. Stock housing, stock shafts, no locker...we made it and had a blast....

All the advice I have gotten is if your going to run 37s no need to go to a 60 in the rear...as the 44 will run 37s great and will hold up with a quality locker, truss, and bad boy chromoly shafts.

I know 60s are awesome! Believe me! But weighing my options, I think money is better spent on COILOVERS AND A LONG ARM!

Just get a Dynatrac rear cover like me so it just looks BasAss! Lol

Good luck!

I had a budget of 10k so I went with a PR44 up front. Added ARB for the rear with chromoly shafts. Then i had enough to do hydro steering. I was debating a PR60 S/F rear but decided not to. Im happy with my decision.

I think your pricing for the Dynatrac axle is too high, and the pricing for the Currie axle looks a bit low. I won’t try to quote someone else’s product here, but I can tell you about Dynatrac. $4990 will get you a Dynatrac Trail Series 60 that includes: ARB, 35 spl, ratio choice, and ProRock upgrade, billet ABS tone rings, and billet retainer, 1350 yoke, and the 68.5” width option. Give Dan a call at x-216 for a quote.

You can re-use stock JK brakes if you wish, or order new brakes with the assembly. Our new ProGrip JK Brake upgrade is very popular right now.

We have examined every other axle made for a JK, and are confident that we can beat anybody on quality, durability, performance, and service. Generally when comparing apples to apples ProRocks are only slightly more expensive. Getting apples to apples quotes can be tough, but we will help you.

Here is why Dynatrac is the better deal.
• The ProRock 60 absolutely has the most ground clearance of all Dana 60 housings. NO exceptions! Its design has a US Patent.
• The ProRock has the highest level of housing rigidity. Five webs are cast into the housing for unmatched rigidity in supporting the pinion and reducing gear deflection. ProRocks do not exhibit fatigue fractures in the housing belly after harsh use like other housings.
• Dynatrac specializes in Dana 60’s. We don’t spend time on lift kits, bumpers, 9” Fords, transfer cases or anything else. All the R&D goes into being the best, not just good. Axles are our flagship product.
• Dynatrac makes our housings, castings, shafts and forgings in the USA, NOT China and India as others do. American metallurgy and process control is the very best in the world. Third world nations may be cheap but they are 20 years behind. Quality requires effort and experience, not a shipping container. Axles are the most important investment in 4x4, wise buyers should ask and care where their parts come from.
• OEM Housing construction. We use only full factory press fits. No butt-welds, sleeves in the tubes or screws holding your tubes in pace.
• Dynatrac offers the best warranty in the industry that actually serves you if you need it. Service not Excuses. Our industry leading 1-year warranty backs it all up. Dynatrac provides a 12 month unlimited mileage written warranty on the entire axle assembly. If you can break it, we will fix it.
• Dynatrac offers best in the industry customer service. Especially AFTER the sale. We know that you’ll need to maintain your Dynatrac axle. With service in mind, many of our service parts (like brake pads, calipers, bearings and seals) are available at your local auto parts supplier. We also stamp every assembly with an identification number that will tell us how your assembly was built and what parts we used. We have that info for every axle we’ve every built. We can identify the parts you may need to service your Dynatrac assembly into the future.
• The welding, fit and finish of your ProRock will be better than any other axle out there. Don’t take our word for it, ask around.

It's always great to have you guys come on here and tell it like it is. Thanks for chiming in :thumb:

Problem is, those coil overs and long arms will get you driving a lot harder and faster and speed is what ultimately bends flanges and breaks things inside. A truss and chromoly shafts won't do much of anything for you. Of course, that's just me.

True story, those coil overs will make you buy a Dynatrac faster than anything!

My advice, buy those coil overs and prove us wrong

So what your saying is, if I go long arms and coil overs now on factory axles then my wife will have to let me get a pr60/80 combo sooner when the factory axles break!

That is some damn good logic right there.

As Eddie said, thank you! BTW, I think The video of Mel in the TJ hitting that big rock and continuing on should be your next promo video!!! Nothing else says " Rock on" like a Dynatrac!!

How does the trail 60 compare to the pr44 or pr60 and what the differences? I am in the same possession right now with a bent axle and need a replacement asap.

The Trail 60 is a rear axle. The ProRock 44 is a front axle. A ProRock 60 can be had in a front or rear axle and will have all the bells and whistles with even a few more you can add if you want.

Thanks Eddie.

Well then, I suppose you will be fine too. That being said, just get what you've already convinced yourself you want.

Lots of good advice and things to ponder on this thread. I ended up going with Currie because the group I wheeled with in Arizona when I was younger were all "Currie" guys. I have front and rear Rock Jock III Currie axles and they have done me right so far. These axles have now been under two JKUs with no significant issues even after rolling the first JKU in Moab and totaling the first JKU. They are now under my current Jeep and we just finished up EJS, did Pritchett Canyon etc so far with no issues. That being said if I had my "druthers" and could do it all again I would get a full float rear axle. Good luck! I don't think you can go wrong either way.

The difference is $400 dollars between a Trail and ProRock 60. It'll take the same time to wait, which was about four months for me. Both centersections are stronger than a stock Dana 60 (nodular iron, more ribs, etc.), but as stated the ProRock 60 has a better profile and clearance. One of the stupid things about the Currie 60's is that there's not a drain hole machined into the centersection. The Dynatrac axles don't have this either, but then they don't rotate the centersection upward like Currie does. It's also odd that Currie doesn't offer an eight lug 60 or 70. Dynatrac also uses standard axle seals on their product. As far as reliability is concerned, I couldn't say who has a higher failure rate. A few instances of failure from a couple of people is not enough to determine who's more reliable. Anything can fail...

So the thing that should be stated with this video (and about a full float) is that this fellow can pull that axle shaft out right there on the trail and drive it off. With a semi-float axle shaft, you're dead in the water when it breaks.

 

[wayoflife]

Anything can fail...

Yeah, anything can and WILL fail but really, that's not the point. A full-floater will still be stronger because your axle shafts only have to move your Jeep. The spindle carries the weight. IF you break a semi-float shaft - you're kind of up creek without a paddle unless you have a spare shaft. IF you break a full-float, you can still drive off the trail. Not that I'm saying a semi-float setup isn't good, just trying to put things into perspective.
