I have Currie Rockjock full float 35 spline and 40's. I wheel hard and often. Friends with Semi float break but my full floater never breaks or bends. It works excellent and the D60 has some different options for suspension that give it far more travel than the D44. I bent and broke front and rear D44, front tried sleeves, tried upgraded tubes all broke cracked with 37. With the full float Rockjock I am never in fear of breaking and can go out to trail knowing that I will be able to drive home.

I am running the Currie RJ 60 (semi float) on my 4 door JK. I have 40's and have been running it about a year year now, so far so good. I do have the 40 spline shafts...
I am not overly aggressive (no jumping) but I don't baby it either. My Jeep is pretty light (for a 4 door) , half doors, soft top, all aluminum armor etc..
Hope this helps...
I think the RJ runs about $4000 +/- with ARB and 40 spline shafts

I'm not sure why a semi-float PR60 even makes sense anymore. You can buy the new Dana Ultimate 60 rear full float for less. Why pay $500 more for semi-float?

Use an adapter in the front and run 8x6.5 all around. The rear axle will be a lot wider, so you'd want to match the front with an adpater.

Well i bent both rear flanges on mine with 35s within a year. So to each his own. But everyone's definition of hardcore offroading varies... Ive seen a ton of 37s bend flanges and much more. You want 37s or need 37s is also the question. If you truly need them imo a d44 is a waste aswell as semi float. If your getting by on 37s and factory D44's you dont really need them is my 2 cents

Well I don't think anyone "needs" anything they put on their jeeps. Since when does need factor into this hobby?!?! This is all about wants you could pretty much do any trail in a stock rubicon with a winch you aren't ashamed to use, lol

I need the mods i did. But i also want to plan ahead. I guess you need nothing if your ok breaking on a trail.. Then again i guess that matters if you even wheel. Plenty a stock Rubi wont do here even if you wanted to go winching instead of wheeling youd get body damage. If you go winching wouldn't you NEED the winch?
