Where are you guys finding the JK Rock Jock 60's? And why are they so much cheaper than the Pro Rocks? I e-mailed dynatrac directly for pricing on the Pro rock 60's... it was like 10k for front, 5k for rear or something like that... And iirc, they didn't have the 5x5 bolt pattern on one of the axles yet, according to the sheets. Rock Jock JK 60's might be a little more worth it for my price range... 5k and 2k doesn't sound half as bad.

Yeah the axle is 5 grand then you have to still buy the ring and pinion, carrier, and locking hubs. For 5 grand and claim to be bolt in I want it to show up on a skid and then bolt into the Jeep. I will stick with the Mopar 44 that comes complete for 1500. Add chromo shafts and be done. Just my opinion.

Still, a locked up D60 for the rear at 3000 is not all bad.
The front needs even more.

That IS a pretty good price but don't forget, for the rear you will still need a locker, gears and bearings. If it includes gear setup, the total is another 1,000.00 with an ARB. If it doesn't include setup, figure another couple hundred...minimum.

I would like to see someone come up with some axles like this that retain the 5x5 bolt pattern, and also do not require locking hubs so that I can save money by not having to get new wheels at the same time.

not to be a dick, but your comparing a mouse to a Horse...
that isnt going to happen, Have you looked at how small the center hole on a 5x5 rim is? theres no way a Lockout hub will work..
whats the big deal with changing to 5x5.5 anyhow? It'll open up more rim choices than the 5x5.
