Because there is no ESP or ABS?
Brakes do their job well?
Normal stopping distance?

Dynatrac.
Why use a hybrid ProRock 44/60 front?
Why not Dynatrac 60 front?
What are the advantages of hybrid ProRock 44/60 front?
Less weight?
Cheaper cost?
Wilwood brakes (you use a portal system) have external seals on the pistons?

Please correct me if I'm wrong somewhere.
The high price - the only serious drawback portal system.
Skate hard in the off-road wheels with 35 or 37 inches?
Want to forget about the curved axis JK?
Then buy a Dana 60 (set by approximately $ 10 000)
Prices Lift kit around $ 2500
Price portals $ 8000
difference of about (8000-2500 = $ 5500)
More than 5500 will get about 60% load reduction is on the axles and steering geometry remains.
Please correct me if I'm wrong somewhere.
What kind of waste I have not seen?

AIM does not recommend their current system (the one you are selling now) for use on roads.We've not been officially told why it isn't recommended. It could be a combination of concern over high speed diving with portal boxes and the potential legal issues that could arise in the event of an accident.
Because there is no ESP or ABS?I'm sure this is a concern
Brakes do their job well?Adequate
Normal stopping distance?Similar to a JK with very large tires

Dynatrac.
Why use a hybrid ProRock 44/60 front?Extra strength of Dana 60 R&P not needed with portal design
Why not Dynatrac 60 front?
What are the advantages of hybrid ProRock 44/60 front?Better ground clearance
Less weight?Prox 50lbs
Cheaper cost?Only slightly
Wilwood brakes (you use a portal system) have external seals on the pistons?Unsure of model number used on portals but my own personal Wilwoods worked fine in mud for over 6 years and I don't know if they had external seals

For some people, they want every possible advantage due to how and where they wheel. A portal system would have a big advantage in deep snow where ground clearance is crucial. With less under the Jeep to drag, performance would improve.
Remember, even with a portal sytem you'll need to do some significant suspension work. While it can be built to work with a stock JK suspension, additional supports are required to handle the added stress of the portal design.

Both of my Jeeps have 37" tires and I've found that size tire works very well in most areas. For me personally, I don't see where portals would help me enough to justify the added expense.

You personally have tested JK c portal sytem on the roads?
Guess your off-road mountain and rock?
Ground clearance is also required to move in the wake of a truck timber. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk7CRAtwemI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-vyoIQGwnY&feature=fvwrel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk7CR...layer_embedded

set of portal system (Hybrid ProRock 44/60 front. ProRock 60)?
"Some significant work suspension requires the use of weld metal on my JK?
Please answer in detail.
