Manual vs auto make a diff?
Edited while you guys were posting lol. C8.25 and D44 should be considered the same when choosing a DS. Transmission makes a difference.

Apparently lol. I figured the ring gear sizes were close enough. Originally Posted by bheath

One thing that isn't similar is the bolt pattern for the brake backing plate. If you plan on swapping to discs there's a thread on NAXJA where a dude welds up and drills new holes.

Worth more, too. But as far as DS length, they're effectively the same.Originally Posted by Outlaw Star

A double shear replaces the bracket and the TRE and uses a through-bolt on both ends of the bar. This makes a much stronger connection that won't wallow out over time, and it also improves articulation.

regular is like the stock with a TRE on the frame end. Double shear has both ends like the axle end on the stock track bar. They flex better and give a little more with bushings on both ends. Highly recommended to get a double shear. Originally Posted by rockdoon

Like IRO's Double shear or Ironman4x4fab's track bar.
