On your ground clearance point, You’re correct that you will not have as much ground clearance in the rear with the Pro 60 axle, but you are going to 37s, so the net difference will be a gain. In the front, the ProRock 60 has more ground clearance than a stock Dana 44, so you’re making a big gain there. And you are correct that a ProRock 60/Pro 60 combo will be heavier, than stock axles, but the weight is extremely low in the vehicle, so from a handling and off-roading standpoint, it really won’t be a negative.

Here’s what the choice really comes down to:
If ultimate ground clearance is your goal, the Serious Performance ProRock 44/60 combo is the way to go.
If ultimate strength is the goal, the Hard Core ProRock60/60 combo is your choice. The ProRock 44/60 is plenty durable for 37s, but stepping up to the ProRock 60/60 combo gives you much larger knuckles, balljoints and hubs in addition to the larger ring gear, differential, axleshafts and beefier housing. This is especially attractive if you’re thinking about an LS engine swap or other additions/modifications down the road.

Hope this helps guide your decision!

He claims, although way stronger, the additional weight of the 60's will make it a pig on the highway and in the rocks. I don't think this is true but I couldn't find any comments answering those questions except V8 swaps. Any thoughts with the 3.6 and 6-speed? I hate to ask what I feel is a stupid question, but this is a one time purchase for me so I want to get it right. Will the extra 200-300 lbs of the 60/60 over the 44/60 make a notable difference on a 2 door jeep in its on/off road performance?

I have the 44/60 set right now under my rig, 5.13 gears and 37" coopers and to think it's light at all is a joke. My rig is definitely heavy, I'm by far the slowest on the freeway to and from the trail, but out there I'm confident I'm the only one in my group that doesn't have a smiling front end.

Ditching this for the 60/60 set whenever Dynatrac is finished with them and couldn't imagine it's going to get much worse on the freeway but I'll report back.

Instead of beefing up my rear 44, I think I may pull the trigger on the semi-float 60 (not the trail series 60). But if Dyna has changed things up such that the flanges are paper thin like the stockers, then I'll have to look at other options....

2012 2-door auto going 4.88's.

The 60/60 is nice package. After being 2 going on 3 weeks now without the JK, I don't think I can go another 8 weeks before slitting my wrists.
