That is exactly why I went with the LP waggy 44 option. Now that I have more experience, I'm not sure if I would have done the same thing again or not. I do know that I probably would have taken the time to cut the knuckles, turn, and reweld them for a better pinion angle....but it doesn't really matter with my 6" lift and the locking hubs.
Mine ended up being as close to bolt in as possible. I built it up using the measurements from the 30 to locate the control arm mounts, trackbar mount, and coil buckets. I then took the 30 out....sold it....and put the 44 in. My friends and I were able to bolt the 44 up in a little over and hour. Very cool.
I have more stuff about it written on my site here:
