Yes thats my point!
This part confuses me (not hard to do) I am trying to say the same thing as you. Basically you get what you pay for. I learned a lot from you when I was going to start building my rig (I'm sure you remember) and I take that lesson into my build. :beer:

You inspired me Eddy.......seeing Moby and GCM's rig on here......watching the JKX videos.....getting all the free knowledge you all have to offer......well it made me commit to building to that level and getting out there and joining in on the fun......I'll be seeing you guys in MOAB in April hopefully if just for a day to have a drink and a bite to eat with the group...

you have made some really great points here eddie. At the end of the day I plan to get the DTD system next year and it makes no sense putting the best suspension on my Jeep and not get the best axles to go along with it. while it will certainly be over kill on the east coast, my plans are to eventully move out west and hit moab and the rubicon etc. And in all honesty I will be able to afford PR's so theres no need to skimp...

Congrats on the investment. I should be on that MOAB trip and will be awesome to see your rig. :thumb:

Thanks! Running factory Rubicon axles with a brake upgrade kit. I have replaced the ball joints and all the steering but I haven't trussed anything. I am ordering the Spicer/Mopar Ultimate 60s in about a month. I am one of the few that hasn't bent anything yet on the D44.

I got my information through PMs on their Facebook page. I am not a Spicer Rep just doing a lot of research for the last month before I pull the trigger.

Never said you were a rep, just found it odd that this is how you chose to make your very first post here. Most people usually take the time to respond to my welcome PM or post up to say hello.

No worries. Honestly thought the welcome PM was auto generated so ignored it. The Spicer Rep comment wasn't necessarily for you but for others to see the post. Seems like this Forum is a little bit closer nit than what I am used to which is cool. Looking forward to it. Just trying to pass on recent info that I have gathered for everyone's research.

Seems like your prices for the Dynatrac axles are a few thousand too high. Certainly they look higher than what Northridge 4x4 sells them for.
I tried doing a quick comparison at a few fly-by-night smaller vendors like River City Offroad and the like, but it looks like they don't even have the buying power to stock axles.
Regardless. Deals can be had on Dynatrac...not sure I've ever seen a Mopar deal.

Great job getting all this info consolidated. They only thing I would add is that the Spicer/Mopar rear is Full Float (no option). Also the Mopar come with 35 Spline Warn hubs and 8x6.5 lug pattern (no options).
Thanks again.

Um, that's an odd response.

Why would you delete your response? It has already been quoted.

Well, there is that. And the NR prices, which are considerably lower than what goat stated above, are for ARB lockers.
