Ive been looking for a front dana 60 that could use stock Jeep JK 5x5 bolt pattern and I think I found it.
Curious as to see what everyone's take is on these RockJocks.

I could always upgrade to Reid knuckles and be set.
The outer axle shafts looks to be same size as stock dana 44s so it could assemble to the stock outer knuckles, maybe the weak link on this setup.

Will these be cheaper than a PR44 in the long run and after parts and labor or should I just go PR44 and be done with it?

 

D 60 in the Front? Dam that Jeep is going to Be a beast. You going to Run a D 70 in the rear? If you do your going to have an insane Jeep that will Eat rocks for breakfast and sh*t sand.

 

That axle has a 5x5.5 bolt pattern. You can get the rear with a 5x5 but the JK wheel wont fit over the front hub.
The Reid JK knuckle is not going to fit a dana 60 C either.

I would just buy new wheels then run the weak unit bearings we have on the JK. I would also get a lock out hub up front as well.

 

Sorry, heres a better link.

Currie Rockjock Jeep JK Front Dana 60

The axle is the FS model SKU: JK-RJIIIFS, says you could use stock hubs, breaks, and knuckles. Stock hubs use 5x5 bolt pattern I assume, so upgrading to a Reid knuckle should work as well as you can put those on regular Dana 30 / 44 axles.

 

what exactly is a lockout hub? This allows wheels to turn without turning front driveshaft??

 

First time I have seen that housing, they must be using a dana 44 inner C. It should work. Will be more money since you will have new inner shafts and different gears/lockers. The Jk inner will not work with it.

A lock out hub allows you disengage the driveline at the wheel in case a shaft or ring and pinion were damaged. Having it disengaged on road will help out your mpg just a bit as well.

 

Yea, first time I saw these as well. They require a $750 core charge up front and you will need to give them your stock 30/44 inner C's, Im guessing they're using these stock C's on their 60 housing.
A Lock out hub may not be an option for this kit

 

lock outs wont work with a 5x5 pattern. not enough clearance.

 

A lockout hub will also let you set your caster to what ever you want with out worrying about front driveshaft vibration on the highway. That's the main reason I'd want them.

 

I don't think you'd want to use 44 parts in a 60 if you plan to run 40s or bigger. Or maybe I'm not seeing it right. But using 44 c's on a bigger housing doesn't sound good unless its the prorock 44.
