You'll be fine with a PR44 if only going to 35's.

I just ordered the prorock 44 for the front. The same as the 5k version at Northridge. I'm on 35s.

I'm going to do a 60 in the back next year when I move to 37s or 38s but right now I'm just doing ARB w 35 spline axles on stock 44.


Or if you are really flush, their new 80 looks baddass. I think width is an issue though. Not positive.

When running 38"+tires the pro rock 44 width becomes an issue, depending on wheel bs, it is not wide enough. Should not be a problem with the pro rock 80 at 68.5 wms. They do custom width as well. The 80 is not much more then the 60 is but you will loose just a bit of ground clearance with it.

I like the package Northridge is offering, I'm just hoping/wishing they offered a rear one, then I'd buy the pair and be done with it!

You can get rear axles from northridge. You call them, they call dynatrac and order it to your spec's, and have it shipped to you 8-10 weeks later. They may be stocking rears by now but am not sure. They have a complete bolt in trail series dana 60 listed on the website. With that JKU you defiantly want to go full float on the rear and might as well go 8 lug for the big meats.
