depends on what 44 some have cast wedges and you can't really make those disappear easily. but you can make anything work on any axle just depends on how much work you wanna do.

 

how about this one.... its what I WANT not because someone told me it was awesome, Ive done it before and am doing it again, I have experience with it so nana nana boo boo

 

i'll accept that answer for a couple reasons

1. you did it before, it worked so your doing it again.
2. a different answer then i always get.
3. you said nana nana boo boo

 

D30's are beef!

 

screw that!! Dana 28's for life homie.

 

I went with a 9" for these reasons. You can do a 35 or 40 spline kit and be set. The pinion support bearings. And the weight. My 9" is going to weigh maybe 1/3 or a 14b. And with some minor upgrades, can be just as strong. And have a lot more clearance.

 

Me and Zach are going out to lil moab Sunday around noon if anyone wants to come. Gonna break his rig in!

 

Sounds like fun but I will helping a friend move on sun

 

Thank you!!


Btw chandlers 9" is a great example of that.

 

I'm a huge fan of the 9". Ill always run one.

 

i'm gonna be building a 40spl FF 9" with a 60 drop out here real soon. just gotta round up a few more parts and take a housing over for the "shave" to fit the 60 dropout.

 

When you do, post here. Id like to get some info on it.

 

what info you looking for? i know 90% of what's needed and few lil things that i'm sure i'll discover along the way. been getting info from a friend who has already built one.

 

ha holy axle war! my sterling is the best because my best friends uncles brother said so.... but really it does have more clearance then a 14bolt and 35 spline shafts stock and are also really cheap to come by, although the 14B does have a pinion support bearing and is much easier to gear. Oh yeah and my 60 has unit bearings which are much stronger then manual hubs, not to mention its got 1.75" thick shafts which is just plain badass.....
There, let the pissing match begin!
Oh and also like devin said were hittin up little moab on sunday and anyone is welcome to come watch me try and break my ****!

 

don't get me started on how cool my dana 30 is... it's strong because it's a high pinion. and it has tube seals so that means it's pretty much bullet proof, and the ring gear is what, like 7.2" so that's pretty beefy
