Need Axle advice

Thanks

personally, i would get a dynatrac prorock 44. unlike the factory front 44 which has dana 30 tubes and small knuckles, the prorock 44 is beefed up substantially, has a high clearance diff, is designed specifically for the jk and can reuse some of the components off of your existing dana 30.

Although it may seem like a lot,..I just ordered my DyanTrac Pro Rock 44. Structually it's even stronger than the Mopar J8 axle. I was getting ready to order the normal Mopar Rubi axle, but after having to re-gear it, adding the C-Gussets, and the axle tube sleeves and paying someone to weld them in, it was nearly the cost of my Dynatrac, and still no where rated as strong. Dynatrac will warranty their axle up to 37 inch tires also. Give them a call, I think you would be surprised. Great help, and they'll build the axl eto your specs and ship it. I had mine built with the Rubi Locker, shafts, 5:13's and upgraded U-joints (1350), ans then I'll reuse my stock 30 knuckles and wheel bearings. You can even have them install their new rebuildable Ball-joints (sort of a pricey option though)
Check them out, worth the call.
