i already have a teraflex 3.5" suspension lift with 35" tires.
I started off doing some light off roading and now im getting more into it.
Im not sure whether to do the lift or go with the beefier axle.

Its alot of money to spend for me (im only 18) and im not sure which path to take and which one would be better my jeep.


4.5" long arm lift or 6" long arm lift or dynatrac prorock????
need help!!!

If I had the cash I would go with the PR44. That axle is a lifetime unit, never has to be replaced and will beef the front end of that JK beyond anything you can probably throw at it. If 37s are in your future, I think that is the best option

If you are going to increase your lift, you're going to have to look at driveshafts as well.

Given your build, go with the PR44. At the same time, do a re-gear and also at least put in a selectable rear locker. A front locker would be great as well. Oh, ARB of course.

if i can only afford to do one axle at a time which one would you suggest? front or rear? and im looking for my final result to be a 44 front and 60 rear both with arb lockers...is that a good combo .....it is also my daily driver (im only 18 and still go to school) so what gearing would you suggest

I'd opt for the PR axle, that's next on my list and with the stock Dana 30 I'd go with drivetrain upgrade

Do the front first. For hard wheeling you will need the reinforcement in your c's and tubes with larger tires. Gears all depends on what size tires you end up with. Since you will have 44s front and rear you could go all the way to 5.38s.

Give some more info, and the suggestions will be pouring in

as mentioned, get the prorock 44 first.

44/60 with gears and ARBs is an awesome combo. Actually, that's my wish list! If you only plan to run 37s, you can probably do just fine with 44/44, gears, and ARBs though.

I would simultaneously do a PR44 with 5.38 and ARB locker + upgrade the rear 44 with 5.38 and ARB locker. Gussets might be a good idea too.

What are you doing for rock rails/sliders?

im currently running 35" mickey thompson atz's and the biggest i plan to go is probaly 37's cause i love the look of the 35's
-im also not sure, correct me if im wrong, but i dont think my sahara has the dana 44 rear axle, i believe its 35 but im not 100% sure
-would regearing to a higher ratio help with fuel economy at all?
