$6500 wow.
Better than putting a few grand into an axle that is weaker and wont get anything out of resale.
Good call imo Jimbo
but I can't believe you can't build an axle for atleast half of that.

Believe it.  if someone could do it there is a HUGE market for it. It costs what it costs. 

@Blue J  JUST ANOTHER AHOLE OPINION lol,
IMHO I wouldn't touch an axle upgrade knowing your path and desire to wheel WITHOUT LOCKING HUBS and going 60.  I believe in ONCE AND DONE because I've never been good at it and I pay double, triple, sometimes 4x.  Do the front now, it will be set for life, and do the rear when you can. 

I would buy the ULTIMATE 60 for up front, huge benefits

Jesus!! So, looks like I'll be riding the stock 30 for about 20 years to save for all of this crap.

$15,000 for the axles
$2000 for tires
$2000 for 8 lug beadlocks

Not to mention everything else that needs done. Cage, bumper, armor, stronger sliders, steering upgrades.

Mo betta!!!!

I didn't see anywhere if it was 8 or 5 lug. That could add a couple grand.

Nother question. I understand that the 35 spline as opposed to the 30 is better due to the number of teeth and strengthening that point, but what other benefits are there? Are they thicker? How many people have actually broken a 30 spline? Also, I've noticed most of the guys go with an are locker as opposed to the eaton. Are there actual strength benefits, or is it just a preference thing?

Going 60's is not in the cards. Not now, or ever. Its not in the plan. 60's means more changes and a trailer. Its not the end game I am after.

Suggesting 60's in the front is fine when its not your cheddar. @Doug I am sure you have not built your last jeep. Perhaps next time Madison will let you keep it.  //::)//

This Dynatrac d44 set up is
The Trail Leader Axle Package™ includes an assembled ProRock 44™ Unlimited front axle with 1/2-inch thick axle tube walls complete with Dynatrac HD Rebuildable Balljoints, Dynatrac Pro Series diff cover and ARB air Locker.

The package also includes the following to upgrade your factory Dana 44: Dynatrac JK44 Axleshaft Upgrade kit, 35-spline ARB Air Locker, Dynatrac Pro Series diff cover, ring-and-pinion gear set and a set-up kit.

So its the Front Axle and the rear inners. I will need to add the compressor, front upper control arms, flip kit, and bumpstop

Solid plan for what you're after. Will handle 37s with zero problem if you decide to go up in tire size
