We're business at heart, so we like data. You note that your PR44 starts at $2195. What is the average selling price to the "final" customer? Not Northridge4x4, who builds up the housing and sells them complete, but the actual selling price to the final customer. Based on a statistically significant sample set, over 90% of final customers spend well over $4k on a PR44. If you want to share the sales data, we can get an exact number, but we would estimate the average selling price to be pretty close to $5k. Another way to get there is to go to the website of a major reseller such as Northridge and price out a PR44.

The comment about requiring a lift for a PR44 was something we cleared up. It is simply getting an optimized separation between pinion and caster. Your axles are sold with that in mind and it is up to your resellers to understand the difference and get customers into the correct housing.

We are USA proud and machine everything we touch in our shop right here in Metro Detroit. We're not ashamed to say we have our pick of the best talent the fabricating industry has to offer.

Is your front PR60 better than our D60? Sure, when we sell ours for $4500 and you sell yours for $8k. For $250, we will re-tube ours to match yours. 3.75" OD and nearly 3/8" wall tube. That is our small D60 - the one that uses the same F450 unit bearings that Currie, Branik, and Spidertrax run.

Again, we like what you manufacture. If you're confident in what you build, then sell us your XD60 center section at wholesale. We can take that and make something stronger for less money. Honestly, we'd look forward to working with you.

Thanks,
Fusion 4x4

If you want to become a dealer for us or buy some products from us, please feel free to call our sales team. Anyone can buy a ProRock 44 axle for as low as $2,195 from us or our dealers. That's not a loss-leader price: we really do sell them at that price. Of course there are options available if people want or need more. We're here on this forum to help people and provide information, and we hope we've done that with the info we posted earlier.

Many thanks to Fusion4x4 for their time and flexibility on building what I want as a buyer. Great customer experience working with Fusion4x4. FWIW, Dynatrac was the other company I was working with and their customer service has been terrific too.
