I was in the same position couple months ago,

I went with the Dynatrac because
1. Friend had a awesome warranty experience with Dynatrac
2. The Tera44 hasnt been out very long
3. The Teraflex was either sold out or not available yet.
4. Dynatrac has a proven track record with the PR44
5. Dynatrac came with ball joints of my choosing at a discounted price versus buying them separately

I have had the terra 44 in front for about 6 months now. I have had zero problems and install was a breeze. Knowing what I know of terra and their other products this will be great as well. The housing was a little less than the pr44 and I was able to get it quicker.

Thanks for the input on the axel I'm still undecided but I have found a set of Dana 60's that I came get reasonable so the 60's on some 40's may not be out of the question yet

Default TereFlex vs Pro Rock

One big thing that swayed me to the Pro Rock 44 was the tube thickness alone. The Pro Rock I have is a half an inch thick and the TereFlex is half that. I know it adds weight but so do the bumpers and all the other add-ons. At least its weight down below the vehicle that would in affect make it more stable. If I'm not mistaken a Dana 60 axle is a half an inch thick!!

I'm just glad a company made a bolt in axle for that specific vehicle. It went in easy and takes care of the week link that Jeep comes with. It should be an option when you order the Jeep.

Wondering if you made a decision? I'm in the same boat but seriously considering PROROCK44 for all the reasons posted. I own an 07 unlimited X and I want to get new axles front and rear but mainly front to start. One big thing that's got me thinking though is gearing. From what I've researched, 5.13 is the lowest safe gearing you could go with in a D44, including prorock. I'm wondering if 5.13 is gonna cut it with 37in tires. I'd hate to spend all this money only to find out there's no power to rock crawl. I live in NM, high desert 5000+ altitude and a lot of where I wheel like Colorado rockies is at even higher elevations. I have 35s right now with 4.10 and the thing can barely move on the rocks with the rubi t-case I've swapped in. I know I'll gain power back when moving to 5.13 but will it be acceptable when I go to 37s?

Your are talking about the front only. The D60 rear minimum is 65.5". That's why many do a PR44 Unlimited in front and PR60 in rear. I just ordered a set like this. Expensive, but it will likely be the last i will ever need.
