Im trying to learn the pro's and con's of the different types of axles and was wondering where the currie 1-ton rockjockIII fits in when comparing it to a prorock 44 and/or 60.
I know there is more to this question such as the internal components inside the housing but if I was going to comapre or rank them using the same or similar internals where would they fall in terms of things like strength and ground clearance?

Also does a ford 9" style axle give you any other benefit than ground clearance?

Thanks
 
The 9" is strong but not that strong. I've seen them break in small trucks with 35's. For a TJ it would be a good choice if the 8.8 is not used but in a heavier JK I can't see it holding up. I'd skip that axle.
 
One tons and 60's should probably be compared to a 14 bolt.

Rockjocks > Prorock 44

Difference between ProRock 60s and RockJock 60s is debatable. See this thread. http://wayalife.com/showthread.php?t=11856

ProRocks probably get a slight nod (in my opinion) but are more expensive.

And Wayalife would give me crap if I didn't point out Dynatrac Prorock axles are 100% Made in the USA.

I have a Prorock 44 front and Rockjock 60 rear.

You could skip the debate and get 80s.

So the bolt-in 1-ton Currie sells isnt worth it for a 4-door? The reason I was asking is because it didnt seem to be that much more then the prorock44 of EVO's site. So I was just wondering what the real differences where.
