Do you feel the need to upgrade the booster Kevin?
At this point, no. And I think I've read that it's a PITA to do. Not 100% sure though.

Thinking about axles for my Jeep...I'm doing a lot of debating between strength vs cost.
My original plan was to build up my stock front D44 and get a 60 for the rear. But, I guess there is going to be problems with running an ARB in the rear and being able to activate my stock front locker. The stock rear locker has to be locked before the front can be locked, and since the stock rear won't be there to communicate this, I won't be able to lock the front. Plus, the stock front housing just isn't as strong as aftermarket options, no matter how much money I throw at it.
So now I'm thinking about a Dynatrac Prorock 44 in the front and a Dynatrac Trail 60 in the rear. These seem to be the preferred axles on a budget. Anybody heard good bad or anything else about this setup? I plan on running my 37s for now and upgrading to 38s when it's time to replace them. Any issues that I need to be aware of?
I'm anxious to get out there again...
if you haven't decided whether to go after strength or cost, I will say focus only on strength first, forget other factors. Why, because it is the most vital thing to consider whenever you are making a purchase, or improvements or alterations.
For the costs, you do not need to spill tons of your money. Think wisely, if you do it on your own you may get troubled, or stuck, and it makes you pay more money for it. Why because, time is also money. Instead, a piece of advice from an expert is to simply to go for axle surgeons. They can take care of your job easier.

Welcome to the forum.
I've had Mopar 60s in my Jeep for about two years now. Cheap enough, and strength for days.
I used to wheel a lot. . .

Seriously! I've ran about 6 times in the last two years. That's not enough.
