Caught the Bug
Here's a video we made about the ProRock 80 back when it was introduced at SEMA a few years back. In it, you'll hear straight from Jim McGean, the owner of Dynatrac tell you how the clearance difference between a ProRock 60 and a ProRock 80 is only about a pencil thickness.
I think the 1" difference you're thinking of is at the yoke. And really, there are benefits to having a higher pinion including clearance and reduced driveline angle but for me, strength and the need for it takes priority. Again, the XD60 does utilize a bigger ring and pinion and that is a BIG improvement over ALL the other high pinion 60's out there.
Thanks for posting that video Eddie. I watched another video with Jim from Dynatrac showing the bearing sizes and other internal parts of the XD60 and explaining some other benefits, but did not watch this video. Definitely leaning towards the PR80 if thats all the lower it hangs at it's lowest point.
