Would you like those answers from an experiential or philosophic viewpoint? You seem to place the same credibility on both.
It is possible to have a flat skid to the frame and standard cut (not rotation) low pinion housings front and rear. I think that this is a great way to go. Low budget, easy to do, you can make the skid yourself with a few simple tools, the material is relatively inexpensive compared to a purchased skid, and the outcome should be awesome. You probably saved enough by not getting the factory 44 to do the whole thing. Were I on a low incremental budget, this is definitely one of the things I would consider doing.
If you can pull off a raised skid, a flat is the same just slightly more difficult. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the ax-15 the shortest of the trans options in the TJ. If so, that's another great reason to own one with a flat skid. We all know that the longer you get your rear driveline, the easier things are.
I say go for it.
