clearly you haven't picked up a pr44 or even looked at the C's. or maybe mine is just that much heavier and stouter than all the other PR44's out there..

I know they are beefey,and strong,that comparison didn't-include truss, but agree the c would still be the weak link compared to pro rock
If your not living and having fun,your dead already
Im sure you are correct,but in his case would save him a ton of money,and be still plenty strong,of-course a pro-rock would be would be the best thing

A pro-rock 44 is about same strength as a sleeved , trussed and upper and lower inner c gusset all combined

Sorry, not even close.
You're assuming that a bent axle is worth trying to straightened or can be done properly at all. You could spend all that time and money and still have a jacked up axle that leaks and then you'd have to start all over again with something new. I have seen more bent axle housings BECAUSE of a truss being installed than not. But hey, that's just me.
Not trying to start a flame war whatsoever. It can be straightened fairly easily with the jig posted previously.
It worked for me, and I haven't had any reoccurring issues. I agree that trusses can bend the shit out of your axle while welding.
That's why you need to pre-load them. These are just my experiences from the same issue he had.
Clearly, YOU are a capable individual and that's great. Since it seems to have been missed, I am NOT saying that it can't be done and I would be the first to say that a jig as shown is the ONLY way you should attempt to install a truss (but even with that, I have STILL seen bent axles from having a truss installed). What I am saying is that the guy lives in GERMANY, a place where Jeeps are NOT that common. I might be way off base here but I have a feeling that they don't have the kind of shops with the know how that we have here and I don't think the OP is proficient in these kinds of tasks. All I am trying to do is help this guy based on where he's located and what he most likely has available to him.
If i had the money id go pro rock,but i don't, that is why i suggested an alternative, i do agree with you
Point understood, like I said I am not trying to start a flame war. If OP feels he is confident in taking the route I did, then I just wanted to provide him the option/knowledge that it can be done.
I wish I was in Germany right now. All those drunken octoberfest blondes with big tits shaking their fat asses. That would be very entertaining the hell with jeeps hehe

And, that's why I recommend people NOT waste any money on a factory axle. Better to just play with what you've got and save that money until you can afford to buy a real upgrade. For as much as it costs to buy sleeves, gussets and a truss and have it all welded on (assuming you can't do it yourself), you're way on your way to a ProRock 44. From what I've seen over the last 10 years, MOST people will never even need anything at all.
First I will look now for Dynatrac if they have a housing which takes Rubicon stock locker. this would be interesting.
It's what we're running on our Dozer JK now - a ProRock 44 with our old Rubicon locker and shafts swapped into it. Makes it a lot more affordable to do.
Didn't know this was an option. So you basically just get larger gear housing, ie bigger pinion?It's what we're running on our Dozer JK now - a ProRock 44 with our old Rubicon locker and shafts swapped into it. Makes it a lot more affordable to do.
