So, I just started my 44/9 swap so far I ony have the 9" center section done with spool and 5.13s, I have the spring perches welded on the housing and thas as far as I am with that.
Now ive been searching for the 44 and the day I come across a complete 77 dana 44 for $175 I also find a set of 60s complete brake to brake 5.13s spooled/disk brake rear, and open and kingpin front for $2000! That's less than what I was planning on for my front 44 build, and i could have my jeep moving again sooner.
So before I jump on a possible overbuild, is there any reason I should not do it? I know they are heavy and hang low for my planned 37"s(for now) but are they maby too heavy for a on road 4.0/aw4/231? I am going to plate the frame and a minimal cage but will they still rip my jeep appart of time?
What about off the shelf long arms? I was planning on the tnt kit, will they handle the extra weight?
