Can you run a stock driveshaft with a pr44 front or rear?
Silly question, but wondering what the total cost to upgrade would be. So this may sound dumb, but would it be possible to swap Rubicon internals into a pr44 and run stock driveshafts?
Without adjustable control arms?
Even if just for a few months until more $$ comes along to swap driveshafts?
Also, can you run a pr44 with stock control arms? I assume that's not an issue?

There are two versions of the PR44 housing. One with stock caster/pinion, the other with modified angles to accommodate a lift. Yes, you can run stock arms, but you need to put a little thought into your setup.
For a few months, your driveshaft should be ok. Just be sure to order the PR with the stock flange and not a yoke that would be used with a double cardan.
