I'm hoping for 5x5 as well, I'd definitely go this route if it is. If its not I'm back up in the air on converting to currie or dynatrac solutions.
Missing Des Moines right now littlejon! Was home on leave for such a short time didn't get to play with the Jeep very much!

Mopar part: #p5155083
dana 60 LP
From what I hear its NOT an e-locked axle and is set up for leaf springs.
I have been waiting for this to come out for some time. I was hoping it would be a cheaper price point.
now my 60 rear end options are:
Mopar LP dana 60: $2425
JK bracket kit: $400
Dana 60 LP gears + install: $400
total: $3225 not assembled
OR
Rock Jock HP 60: $1900
ARB + gears and install: $1600
total: $3500 assembled
This is comparing a LP to a HP and mystery locker to an ARB. We also don't know the housing tube size of the Mopar part or the thickness. Rock Jock has 3" tubes with 1/4" thickness. Rock Jock has a skid with 5/16th diff cover. Mopar has no skid with ??? thick diff cover.
EDIT: Ohh I forgot to mention that Rock Jock uses your factory brake bracket calipers and rotors but is drilled for 5on5 or 5on5&1/2 Mopar is just 5on5&1/2 but come with brakes that will accept factory calipers.
MY choices are starting to become clear!

You have to wonder how heavy duty these are. If they are thin wall tubed, and have thin housings like the 44.
Your money would be better spent at Currie or Solid.
