Caught the Bug
I know mel from evo is planning on doing a comparison on dynatracs, ud 60 and curries. Tubing is thicker and stronger, brackets are thicker and stronger. What I've heard dynatrac also takes care of their customers a lot better than Currie and Dana.

The specs are different front and rear and that can be compared all day long. But here's one thing that really sold me on Dynatrac. You can watch Eddie and Cindy's videos of the axle builds years apart and still see the exact same American workers in the exact same shop using the exact same press and machines. There's something to be said about American companies building here with American parts and standing behind what they build. Dynatrac proudly boasts "Made in USA' as much as they can because that is the truth.

So I just ordered a Dynatrack PR44. You have options which increase the price but make IMO make the axle stronger. Do the other axle MFGs offer the same?

I think the only pr44 upgrade for strength that you can get is the .500 thick tubes, correct me if I'm wrong. I don't believe Dana nor Currie offers anything additional for strength. I think Teraflex has a thicker tube option, however who knows where that steel comes from, may come from the pile of returned tire carriers :idontknow:
In the end, an axle will only be as good as the people or robots that make them. Beefier tubes or brackets won't make a difference if the welds that hold them in place are substandard. Likewise, a bigger ring and pinion or a hub assembly will only hold up as well as it was setup. I have personally seen Dynatrac axles being made here in the U.S.A. and their attention to detail is second to none. This is why Dynatrac WILL eagerly stand behind their products while other companies will not.

Hopefully the OP doesn't encounter the type of issues the guy in the video in this thread experienced.

Here's a real life example from just last night. In another thread, a member posted that a Dana/Spicer UD60 axle broke (the tube actually twisted inside the pumpkin) and the manufacturer tried to blame the owner for the break because of the kind of springs he/she was using. Dynatrac wouldn't do that.

"When you start getting passed by and your consumers are going to TeraFlex... Fuckin TeraFlex... There is a big ass problem."
Sort of sums up the debate. I did see that Mel is doing a "shootout" of 60s. Interested in how he's gonna test them.
