Default Best aftermarket axle housings?

Well after many years of off-road abuse our company JK needs a axle upgrade. Looking at staying with the Dana 44 front and rear but in a beefier option. (trust me I tried to get them to do 60s but that is a losing battle). What is out there that you guys have used and had great luck out of?

Here is our setup:

2007 JKU Rubicon

3.8l w/Ripp Supercharger

37x13.50-17

thanks for any input!

Dynatrac and Teraflex for a front 44 housing. You can swap all of the stock rubi 44 internals directly into either.

For the rear you just might win the battle, since there aren't any d44's. Dynatrac, Teraflex and Currie make d60's. (who am I missing for rear 60's?)

Currie axles would be my recomendation. Teraflex in a close 2nd place.

The way I read it, they are only looking for bare housings to swap the rubi internals into? And I'll Thirded! the pr44 front housing.

For the front you are going to have to go aftermarket. After seeing many of the brands already listed I would suggets the Pro Rock.

For the rear your best choice is the D60. However you should be able to find a crash junk yard D44 as ALL JK's came with rear D44 (Not just Rubi's).
