Default Help ordering new front axle please

Long story short, a guy ran a red light and I t-boned his trailer with my passenger front corner, broke axle and did other minor damange, luckily no one was hurt though. Any way this is the time for me to upgrade to a PR 44. I am hoping to get a check from the insurance company in the range of $5000, maybe more.

My question is this, exactly what would you order WITH the PR 44 knowing that I am getting 37's in the next few months and maybe one day going to 40's. I am getting the ARB for sure to match up with the back one I have, but what about the rest, do I need Reid racing knuckles, upgraded ball joints, chromoloy shafts...etc?

If you were in my shoes, how would you order your PR 44 for the front of your JK? I don't do much hardcore offroading, but I do offroad it pretty good when I get the chance and it has been to Moab and I plan to make a return trip soon.

Thanks in advance....

Yeah the passenger knuckle was snapped....why do you think pr60 over the pr44? Cost is still a factor here.....and the 60 is about 3k more than the 44
