So I am a little confused planning future upgrades and the when and where's. The basic info: 14 JK Sport, 2d, automatic.
The plan: (granted this will take a while)
37's
Evo bolt on coil overs front and rear
D60 front and rear.
And other needed changes for this.
Building to crawl over rocks as well as daily driving.
The question is in axle assemblies. I see for the rear there is the Currie Rockjock minus r/p for approx 2k, Dana ultimate 60 that looks like it comes with either 4.88 or 5.38 gears for a little over 4k and in the middle the Teraflex CDR60 4.56 - 5.38 gears and ARB locker for 3700 and change. I believe the Teraflex is not US made so not really looking to hard at that one.
I know you get what you pay for, but are there pros or cons to leaning either way between the Dana and the Currie? Knowing the plan is to go to coil overs will that influence what I should be looking at?
Never really messed with axles before so I don't have a good grip on this subject Any other recommendations appreciated. Not dead set on 60's but just figured it would be less likely to break than 44's and want to take the time to build something that I can go play with and not break it. I know a lot of that comes with how you drive and treat your rig. Still pretty much an off road newbie so the experience of when to go and when to back off is still being learned and will sometimes be learned at a cost.
Headed to work shortly, but thanks for your thoughts.
