Rich boy! 2008 here. You will never regret it. Ever. To add the Dana axels would have cost you $4-5 Grand alone. You were smart.
Both of my JKs have Dana 44s front and back...they are Sahara models, six speed, manual.
If ya gotta buy them, it’s well worth it.
I know this is a late response, but Feb/March is when NASCAR is gearing up. When Sunday is your day off for the week....
I got my ‘07 in ‘10, and MrsSgtBob’s ‘07 in ‘11 (she threatened to commandeer mine). And both are equipped with Dana 44s front, and rear. I think we got a deal at 21k each. I didn’t know at the time that those were only standard on the Rubicon model. We have the Sahara.
