So a little over a year ago I bought a prorock 44. It's been great, no issues whatsoever. Back in June I managed to bend my stock rear hosing enough to kill wheel bearings. I was ready to sell the prorock front, wheels and tires and make the jump to the Dana ultimate 60's. Then I started doing the math.
$11500 for the set of axles.
$1800 for 4 new trail ready beadlocks
$1400 for 4 new 37's
$1000 for new drive shafts
$100 new master cylinder
When it came down to it I was still looking at around $9k out of pocket. Around $16k up front to get everything ordered before putting it on stands and trying to sell everything off. So I ordered a teraflex crd60 for about $3800 instead. I wish I had the time or space to do it myself and build my own axles, but at this point this was what made the most sense for me. One day when I have the time and a garage to do it in I'll switch it around again

Don't need C gussets on a D44HD as the Cs themselves don't bend, its the tubes on the lighter D44 that bends at the Cs weld. The gusset supports that joint by giving more support between C and tube. My D44HD build complete will all new parts was $2500. I Didn't require caster correction and the raised trackbar mount I used was AEV bolt on. Castor corrected housings are for 4" plus lifts anyway.

I have yet to see a bent C on the new gen D30, or D44 however I have seen the tubes bent at the C weld. Older D44 on TJs may have bent hence the inner C gussets.
I've had a 30mph front end collision where the front wheel took the hit and the only things that bent were the control arms and brackets. That new gen C on the Super 30 and 44 are tougher then people give them credit for.

Yes the JK D30 and D44 are specified as Super 30 and Super 44 on the Dana/Spicer website...
