Nah. Prorocks for the win. Not a huge difference in price and much better ground clearance, strength, and built specifically for your Jeep.
Agreed. And no offense to anyone who has taken the time to do this, I know it's a lifelong argument because of the labor you have into them and the self pride, but nothing is going to compare to a purpose built application specific set of axle housings made by Dynatrac.

Well, in reality, you first need to buy things to build things. Be that materials, supplies or what have you. So that old adage leaves much to definition.
I also have another and it would relate well to me building my own axles.... I can either build a house, or I can buy one. The house I build is going to feature sticks, stones, mud and most likely shit and yeah I can have it for next to nothing. Or I go buy whatever the fvck is in my budget that I would actually want to live in.
Maybe that makes more sense :idontknow:

If you were moving from stock to 37s or moving from stock to 40s, what the cost difference?

My post was meant as sarcasm.
Realistically, most guys don't need 40s to go where they are actually going to take their rigs.... don't get me wrong I love the look of a jku on 40s with monster axles. But most guys skill level isn't there as a driver anyhow. furthermore, the sheer pucker factor of taking your new jeep out with all this money in it and going the places that 40s are required is another huge obstacle to face. 70k total for a vehicle to go smash on the rocks is a tall order for anyone out there. Watch the jkx vids. They take rigs on 37s places most wouldn't dream of taking their personal stuff most of the time. Just saying, before dropping the loot.... is it really necessary? are you really going to wheel it that hard? furthermore it's fun doing stuff on 37's. keeps it challenging without having to risk body damage all the time like a jeep on 40's would have to just to get challenged.
Well said. Would I be fine with 37s? Yes. I guess it's one of things I have 37s so I want something bigger. I love the look with the 40s. Theirs one trail where 40s would benefit me locally. Iam four hours away from rubicon and eight from Moab. My thing is if I have axles and 40s and End up not thinking the 20k+ was worth it. But I'm sure it would be.

Look at it this way... I bought a 2015 jku sport second owner with 19k miles for 28k. I put on rockkrawler lift, pr44 my front with 35 spline rcvs, are front and rear and 35 spline chromos out back. Then threw on 37s on slabs and there's very few places I cannot go. All in all I've got 45k-50k tops in my rig. Still don't like the idea of body damage but it's a 50k rig not a 100-120k evo built rig. With that extra money you can do so much elsewhere. And honestly there's not a lot of places that extra 50-70k is going to take you..... other than 60mph through desert whoops

I guess it's also the reassurance with the 60s. But breaking 60s with 40s is probably close to breaking 44/44 or 44/60 with 37s.
