If I am Sticking with a Stock Rubicon 44 front with welded C should I spring for the Pro Steers?
Yes, I would. And, if you ever decide to upgrade to a ProRock 44, you can swap them and all your internal components into it. That would save you a ton of money.

Once you're current ball joints go they would be a good investment. As stated earlier in this thread they are able to be rebuilt when they start to wear so they are a better investment over time.

Is rebuilding a lot easier vs buying new bj? Also, how much do rebuild kits costs?

The rebuild kits are $130 per side. Although expensive even to rebuild, they shouldn't need rebuilt as often as a standard balljoint would need replaced.
As far as replacement vs rebuild. The rebuild should be easier as you don't have to press them in and out. But if you have the tools to do it properly, pressing new Balljoints is far from a difficult task.

Its an Invite for some and a warning for other's
AZ is a great place for an Outdoor Type
I came 10 years ago from California and had to consider the moderate Culture Shock from CA.
AZ is a Right to Work state, I had a problem with that at first,
Phoenix is 115f in the Summer that took some getting used to
AZ had a very conservative mind set, Some I liked right out of the Gate some
took some getting used to. New Yorkers get set home on a Daily Basis, Texan's do well
those from Chicago stay too and Californian's are 50/50. When you relocate you have to respect
the Regional Customs, like when I visit my dad up in Oregon I drink a lot of good Craft Beer and
leave my guns NRA t shirts home.
Good Jeep Trails, hunting, shooting, camping , low Taxes
Jobs kinda suck, schools suck too (My Kids attend Humboldt University in Nor Cal)
Overall it's an Invite for someone to Jeep with
PHX JK oh by the way I'm gonna get some of the Pro Steer Ball Joints

By the way, the Jeep I just bought is a 2015 with 16,000 miles
I heard that 13 up Jeep axles have clearance issues with Pro Steer joints. I also heard that there is a low profile version to address this
I'm about to have a coworker who is a bodyshop welder weld on a front trackbar relocation bracket and C Gussets was thinking about installing
Pro Steers at that time.It's gonna be phase 1 of my build

What you heard is right but it's also really old information. As OverlanderJK said, I don't even think the old style ProSteers are made anymore and haven't been for quite some time. Of course, it wouldn't hurt to verify as much.

I just installed ProSteers this weekend. I have 2014 rubicon so I have beefier axle shafts. I don't have the clearance issue. I did some digging around before i proceeded with the install.
Both Dynatrac and Teraflex had clearance issue with the shafts with their balljoints.
Dynatrac fixed it shortly after finding out about this and teraflex didn't do a jack about it. They actually say in the instructions that you have to grind down you axle shaft at the ujoint to make room for the ball joint.... that's really dumb Teraflex!!!!!
This what happens with Teraflex
And Here's a pic of my axle all assembled. It's hard to see with the tie rod in the way, but the shaft doesn't make contact with ball joint. It's a good 1/4" clearance between the two.

To help others understand better, the yokes on the factory shafts were made bigger and that's why there was clearance issues.
Dynatrac makes everything here in America and once they realized the new problem, they were able to stop production immediately and make necessary changes. It's a bit harder for a company to make a change when you've already been shipped boat load of mass produced ball joints from China.

Just want to make sure, yes I read about his 2 years ago
Yeah Im sure I will be OK. Gonna have my Jeep Apart starting on a Friday night real soon . Gonna forklift the front axle to have the C gussets and front track bar bracket welded on while I put together most of the lift on Sat. I figured this is a good time to Upgrade the Ball Joints. After all this I slap on some Spidertrac Spacers and Order Some Trail Grapplers. I consider this Phase 1 Orange Overlander.
Yes this is info I came across 2 years ago when I wanted a Jeep. Got one now and am trying to make the most of Knowlege Gained in out community.
