stock 44 shafts are weak as hell

[Magilla]

The MaiN issue in my head is this.

The 30/44 thing is nice cuz it means I can gear now and upgrade the rest later, but the knuckles and new axleshafts, steering arms, and such are all $$$

the waggy 44 is nice cuz while it would take me more time to get done, I could run stock shafts, lockouts, and other stuff on the axle on 35's until I got the monies/broke something, and if I ever wanted to go ~36's it wouldn't be a deathbomb

hippie metal will be selling a waggy 44 soon

I forgot about this, but the question is $$?

If it's more than 150$ I'll jut go to thee u-pull and get
one mahself, but apparently the stock shafts are weak anyways.

I'll hve to do sum calculating tonight and compare
overall costs

after you figure in brackets and new wheels, they both run about the same to build. make sure you have a plan to get the lug patterns to match

where would be the best place to get a set of Alloy shafts for a Dana 30? found the Reid knuckles, Im guessing I would need new rims with those then?

if you get the reid knuckles you will have to run 30 inners and 44 outers. or if you get a 30 spline locker you can run 44 inners.

i like the nitro gear alloy shafts

cheap

lifetime warranty.

and cant fit 5 on 4.5 over the 44 hubs so yes new wheels

Im leaning more towards the 30/44 route, it'll let me gear and lock now, and also vet my rear 44 in sooner. Then when I've got the cashola I'll upgrade to the new knuckles, hubs, steering and shafts
