2016 SEMA BREAKING NEWS: NEW Dynatrac Axle Packages

Just saw this on Dynatrac's FB page. Haven't seen any mention of it here so thought I'd post it.

Trail Leader Axle Package
 
Are those ProGrips on the front? No rears?

The pic looks like the front has progrips but there is no mention of them for the rear or the front for that matter in the list of included items. I just think they used a pic of their complete 44 front. I hope I'm wrong though.

Call Dynatrac to confirm. I can truthfully say that with my WJ front axle upgrade with the ProGrip brakes, when I brake hard, the nose dives. I'm already looking at some kind of rear brake upgrade for this custom build. I could live with it, but I know it can be improved on my model. With that being said, Dynatrac has stated that a major design of the ProGrip package for a JK utilizing all 4 wheels is indeed for even braking. I'm sure they'll have an answer for this.
 
Wish it included the ProGrip brake kit but sadly it does not. That would be a hellva pack deal. I'm sure this is a good package but add another $1k for the brake upgrade and your are inching towards their 44/60 package.

Dynatrac does sell the rear pro grips separately so you can add them to the rear on your WJ

Not sure if it would work though, the WJ rear axle is a different axle altogether. I could research it though, but I'm not sure the brackets would mount up. My new front axle is JK everything, that's why I went with the progrip brakes.

I wondered if you were going to have more nosedive with those rotors being as large as they are. With the whole Pro Grip package you can see how much larger the REAR rotors are compared to the fronts, which is the opposite of the stock systems. I know you know this but for everyone else unfamiliar with the system, that combats the nosedive & transfer of the weight off of the rear axle like the stock systems allows & lets the rears contribute much more braking power.

Exactly. So I will likely have to upgrade the rear brakes somehow. I can live with it for now, but it was definitely noticeable. Further showing how badass the ProGrip brakes really are.

And dont forget RCVs. Both of those puts you around 8k plus the Hassel of assembling the rear. 44/60 and 60/60 come ready to bolt in... Fluid and all.

I just put in my order for the 60/60. I shouldn't have issues crawling strollers and priuseseses at the local grocery store anymore.

Now to find buyers for all my parts...
 
I am looking to purchase an XD60 to pair with my UD60 rear. I'm thinking the XD60 spec'd for the Elite Package is perfect combo. Does anyone have any feedback on if there are other options I should be adding to it?

Same same

Man this is a great deal on some sweet axels. I have a couple questions about the pro series in the back on the 60/60 package. Is the only difference that it's not a pro rock housing and not a high pinion? What would the advantages and disadvantages of the two? If you have a long travel suspension, which I don't YET, do you need the high pinion or not? I do a lot of rock crawling and clearance is an issue.
One more stupid question and I'm sure it's an nonissue with the front pro rock. Do they use a unit bearing in the front. If so do they wear out very fast? Of course with stock axel im replacing mine at least once a year, which is getting old. Time for an upgrade


yeah, I just placed my order for the 60/60 last week, and I was wondering the same thing. What is the difference in the Pro Rock 60, and the Pro 60 other than the pinion. Is the pro better, or is the pro rock better? And what is the clearance lost at the pumpkin running 37''s...
Should I just do 40's?

I wouldn't worry to much about clearance, 37's will be just fine. If down the road you want 40's, at least you got the axles for them. Are you going to be addressing steering and suspension to run 40's also? Just because you can run 40's now doesn't mean you have to.

Yeah, I'm going ahead and doing the hydro assist now with 37's.
I'm actually already on 37's with hopped up rubi Dana 44's
I blew my raptors stock steering with 37's, and my 2 door jk steering was weak as shit on the trail with 35's.

I'm already running a EVO Long arm with coilovers, ect...
I could do the hop to 40's now.

It's just with the length of road trips when I'm home, and being a daily driver, I'm not sure it's worth it until she's a weekend grocery getter.

I'm not convinced that EVO bolt ons are the best match for 40's, and if you ordered your axles with 5.13 gears I would just stick with 37's.

Oh, I see, you're saying the entire kit I run (EVO Double D Pro Long Arm Kit) couldn't handle 40's.
I thought you just assumed I had the enforcer bolt on.
Why do you say it can't handle 40's?
JW, first time I've heard this.
