Seems like alot of time and money for a 44 with unit bearings.
yeah, I think for that much money (or a couple bucks more) you could probably do a 9" or a D60

Overall, well worth it IMO.
Output is amazingly better and I don't have to worry about my lights cutting out anymore due to an overheating headlight switch

So looks like the build will be moving fast now.

Picked up a bronco d44. Has the ssbc brake kit , moog ball joints, and warn hubs.

ordered all my parts for my 3 link and steering. And I'm ordering a set of chromolys with 760joints for the 44, along with some 410 gears for it

Man that's awesome. I wish I could find a sweet deal like that. I did find a CJ D30 with open knuckles and locking hubs, but I don't have any way to cut the leaf perches off and weld coil perches and control arm brackets to it.
