And new or modified parking brake cables, if you want that.

Speaking of which does anyone know a cheaper direct fit option than MORE, and less hokey than cutting up the old ones and using cable clamps?

hahaha.. i know youre a fan of the d44 seth, but i am a cheap bastid who likes to research and i still can't see why anyone would choose the d44. it has it's pros like non c-clip and direct bolt in, but it's still 3:55.

you can find an 8.8 much much easier, and you get disc brakes, and 4:10s which is a plus if you run 33s or smaller. the small fab work needed outweighs the c-clip con . im running stock shaft with the $20 flange adapter

i even convinced white alex. he has one in his new jeep lol
