I've got a 99 with a 6" BDS LA running 33's, I got a buddy who wants to get rid of a D44 from a rubicon, it's built with 456 (what I have) chromoly shafts, ARB, but I'm not sure if the Low Pinion will cause a problem. Anyone tried this?

I would rotate the C's w/ that much lift. Im running a LP44 and it's fine for me..

The only issue would be running a low castor angle to improve pinion angle!

I run a custom width GM style LP 44. The best answer would be to set your castor so you can drive it and add lockout hubs so the driveline angles won't create vibrations.

Short of that, it's a trade off between castor and ujoint operating angles.
