Maybe you need to learn to pick a better line. FYI the difference in ground clearance between a PR60 and the factory 44 is 1" not 2"-3" and that is for a width of about 4"

Not talking PR60, but D60 build. I did my measuring, spring perch to ground is combined tube size difference plus pumpkin. 2-3"

Every inch counts, hence the reason they sell housing shave kits to take some of the bottoms off some D60 housings. Personally I don't care what anyone's reason is for going all out D60 but I cant justify it ... If I wanted that I would buy a Power Wagon with a Hemi.

I just looked at these today based off your post. Are there any pros or cons compared to the pr44?

The tube thickness on the RJ is .375 compared to the PRU .500 but at least the RJ 44 center isn't rotated making oil changes a bit easier

Just from a quick look at their site and one other, it appears that they do not offer a caster corrected version? And the only tubes you can get is 3" x .375" (3/8"). The housings from dynatrac/teraflex/g2 all offer caster correction, and they have options for thicker tubes.

The pr44 is 3.0", and you can choose either 5/16" or 1/2" tubes. The Tera44 is 3.25" diameter with 1/4" tubes, and I believe they offer 1/2" tubes also?

I love my PR44U. I feel that it's perfect with 37's.

I'm currently running the G2 Core 44 up front with ARB locker, RCV 35 spline shafts, have no complaints, hindsite I would of went with the G2 axle shafts Instead of the RCV's. FYI, G2 and RCV are the only ones who make Front 35 spline axle shafts to date that I know of. Parts are Parts...haha

I'm going to be making a decision by the middle of this week. if any of the vendors on here want to quote me that would be awesome. 5.13's with an e locker or air locker is what I'm looking for. Open to different brands and 44 or 60's
