I had made my choice ( Tera 44) but due to cut backs on overtime at work due to the war on coal. But I'm really glad I didn't go ahead with the 44 cause I think I've changed my mind and I'm going with Rock jock 60's and 40's as a final tire size. I was only going to go with 37's. but I'm gonna step on up to the 40's Here's a chart for gears and tire size

Yep, seen that chart and that's what makes me nervous about choosing PR44 and not going 60s. I'm just not sure that I can pull it off budget-wise. May take me 3 or 4 years to get the funds and man that's too long to wait without lockers. Need to hit the lotto or something lol.

Yeah I'm just gonna have to save too! If they open the OT back up I should be ready on a few months to install mine that's what I really want so I'm not going to spend $5000 on a built 44 when I can get what I want for a little more

Thanks for the thread

I just broke my rear axle on a 2012 Jk Sahara

But it's temporarily fixed and I need to install a new axle in a couple of months, my car runs 35s on 20" wheels
And I'm new to this I don't know what ratio I'm supposed to have I was thinking about the pro rock 44s but it might be better to have a hybrid install 44/60
Any suggestions?

All of my offroading is mostly in the desert on sand dunes and I'm a very aggressive driver, also the Jk is my daily car to work and dropping the kids off to school

why would you not go to the 3" wider axles? seems like a no brainer

If its a manual trans rubie it's most likely got 4:10 gears anything else should have 3:73's correct me if this is wrong

The front RJ 60 is 68.75" wide and the rears are 66" wide so the fronts are a little wider than the rears. It's a 1-3/8" on each side. you really are not going to tell a difference. They where the same way in the old ford trucks ( f150's and f250's)

i was thinking about the dynatracs. 68.5" custom width for a pr44 front and 68.5" for a rear60.

3" more than stock. seems like it would offer a bit more stability, etc.
