Default Axle question

So I'm going to swap out my axles this year and I think I'm going to go PR44 up front and Currie rockjock 60 in the back. Is there anything I should be worried about running this combo? are there any cons to running the 44 front/60 rear? Thanks for the input guys.

I don't have any experience with aftermarket axles. However, I am curious to know why you chose that combination. Is there an advantage to that setup over running both PR44 or RJ60?

No advantage really other than being good aftermarket axles. Dynatrac doesn't make a 44 rear and I found a good deal on the 60 and thought why not. With the exception of the Rubicon we already run offset axles (D30/D44) so I'm hoping that the 44/60 combo we'll work just the same.

Did you downgrade the axle on your Rubicon to a D30 at some point? If not, than you should be running D44's in the front and rear correct? At any rate, I'm kind of curious myself as to how this type of setup would work. I don't see an issue running a D44 and a D60 assuming that both axles are geared to the same gear ratio.

He said "with the exception of the rubicon" meaning the rubicon isn't running the same 30/44 combo the rest of the jk's have.

If your going to stick to 37's , that combo is fine. If your going bigger , run 60's front and rear. This only applies if your locked and running trails.
IMO

Well I was just fraking t-boned on my driver side. Rear axle is busted. Looks like they are paying for my D60. Lol.
