Your wife's jeep has Tera axles so why are you building your own? Are you happy with her axles? Any reason for 14b and st?
Her Teraflex 44/60 combo has been great and is "almost" perfect for her rig. Although I wish it was full float.
Cons for her combo:
- Same D44 ball joints and unit bearings as a stock axle
- Not full float
- Not wide enough for a 40x13.5 tire without crazy low backspace
A TF front 60 is 10k. For that same money (or less) I can build a junkyard front AND rear that's stronger.
So I'd say cost is the the biggest factor for us building instead of buying.
Our '14 is admittedly oversized for a DD, and we really want it to be as stout as we can afford. Our kids (and soon grandkids) drive it on our overlanding trips so I want to make sure it's easy for them to overcome obstacles and stout enough to withstand a few stupid moves

(which usually happen when I take it rock crawling).
So right or wrong that's our logic.
