The "a" stands for the aluminum pumpkin it has. Steel tubes & aluminum a center don't mix, IMHO. I'm not sure how they safely weld the two together. The 44a is also a C clip axle. Not that it really matters. The 8.25 is a C clip axle too. But it is proven to be strong.

The dana 44a is a mutt its a dana 44hd center but the center is alum.The very few i have seen used off road they had to make a skid plate on the bottom to protect it.The bad part that skid plate kills ground clearance.
