Prorock 44 questions

Can't a answer all your questions except you don't want an outer axle seal. If you've got a leak from your internal seals you want to know right away. The outer seal will hide the leak until it's too late

ARB makes 2 different lockers for the Dana 44 & ProRock 44. The locker that fits in the stock Dana 44 housing is a little smaller & weaker than the locker that would be used in the ProRock.
If you have a ARB locker in the stock housing it can only be used in a different version of the ProRock housing.

Let's say you bought a PR 44 housing and wanted to use your internals with OEM E-locker. You can do this but, with this PR housing you can't upgrade and use the slightly better ARB locker that would have been used in a built PR. You can only use the ARB locker that fits in a stock Dana 44.

Yup, what he said :yup:
 
So I've been searching around on the Dynatrac website and its saying that i cant adjust caster with lower control arms. Is this true? I am opting for the extreme and unlimited version of the housing and this has the built in 6 degree caster. and if so is there an upper control arm i can pair with the EVO Enforcer lower control arm? i decided that im switching suspension out from AEV to EVO enforcer because i wanted the plush rides and needed the lower control arms and with all that im close to the price of a full enforcer with no shocks. as for shocks will i be fine running my current bilsteins with 3" of lift? I have AEV 3.5" lift

"Can't"? I don't know if I would say that but typically, lowers are used to position your axle and uppers are used to set your caster. When working on a small lift and on a budget, adjusting your lowers alone to be longer will change your caster.

Oh I was mistaken that lowers set caster. So what upper control arm will be a good pair with the EVO lowers? I'd like to stay with Johnny joints if I can And I will use the upper to set pinion angle to around 4 degrees right?
 
I'm too dumb to be able to quote someone else's post, so this is in response to a couple of prior posts. Out here on the east coast we see lots of OX lockers. Although my own truck has ARB's in it currently, I am a fan of the Ox lockers. Most are run with air instead of the cable. This combo is really quite good. The Ox locker is simple and very robust. With the air actuation, you have moved the failure point to the outside in a simple to replace inexpensive part. With ARB, I've had to replace a number of seals and o-rings. Complete pita as it means complete disassembly of the axle. Unfortunately I have seen a lot of these leaks and various mechanical failures of ARB. I've seen some Ox failures as well, but I feel they are at least as good as ARB.

Well, like I said, you can make it work with a smaller lift, it's just not what they were really intended for.

I would recommend a set of Currie uppers.
