My situation was rather unique, so it's not something I would even worry about. I had to put a lot into the axles even after I got them, and that was taken into consideration when I got them from the previous owner.
A friend of mine bought a front, with an artel truss and new ball joints for like $1800.

Have you asked your your local dealer? I work at a dealership in va and we get and sell mopar Dana 44 housing for $850 to $1000. It's an option as well. An engineer did measurements on one we had and said its 15 or 20% stronger than the duratrac one. Food for thought. You can call my dealership and ask for Joe Bonney and he can tell you more about it. He is the service manager and drives a sweet LJ. 757-539-0214.

$1000 for a housing without all the innards is a joke.

D44's are kind of overrated in general.
Especially people who buy Prorock 44's, or Rubi axles for $4500...LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Fun fact: the Sport rear 44 can be upgraded to 35 spline with the ARB super 44 kit (not available for Rubicons). Stronger than a Rubi rear 44. With that $4,500 you can get a rugged D60 for the front.
Read. Learn. Spend your money wisely. When the time for axles comes...I'll be giving my money to Fusion 4x4.

Craigslist clover, SC. Has D44 that is a part and has been sleeved. He cut passenger side control arm brackets off and said could weld back on. $1,200 for all minus knuckles and brakes.
