Thanks for the info!!! I spoke with both on Tuesday... In fact, the thread you are referring to is one reason why i decided to wait... I definitely think the Pro Rock 44 s the way to go, especially since i cannot afford a 60. There is also an ARB replacement for the front that will accept 35 spline axles. That combined with 1/2" wall 3" O.D. axle tubes should be a great combo. If only there was a manual hub option with a 5 on 5 bolt patter....

With any luck i'll be headed to Fullerton tonight to pick the Jeep up tomorrow... I'm still trying to decide where to go next and what to do with the take off parts that i now have...

I am curious if anyone with the Warn Powerplant and ARBs is using the Powerplant for actuating the ARBs or the ARB compressor...

PIcked up the jeep last week, can't wait to get it dirty...
Phase I of the build is complete. The next step will be to install the Pro Rock 44 up front as well as new front/rear bumpers.

Thanks for the feedback, hopefully i'll have pics to post sometime next week...

I have the 37" and I had 5.13's installed, I ran them for 5 weeks and could not stand the lack of HWY power nor could I hold the speed at 70 in overdrive (Automatic), I could get there but when overdrive would shift in it would drop back to 60mph. I spent some more money and put the 5.38's in and now I can do 80 in overdrive and it is not downshifting anymore.
