Wow, apparently the email notifications expired or something. Update: never broke a shaft. Did replace bearings once but I thing that was to insufficient preload. Overall I was very happy with the swap, and would not hesitate to do this on any Jeep I own.
Since people are throwing some creds around, here is my background: Welding Engineer in research and development at Caterpillar Inc... One of my jobs is to evaluate power supplies, their new features (typically advanced wave form tech but also standard CV), robustness of construction (both wire...
- are you still running stock shafts? ideally i want to run chromos, and since the 44 also uses a 297/760, there SHOULDNT be clearance issues with the BJs... but maybe you can say for sure?
Yes I am still running stock shafts. As seen in the pics, I merely mated the d44 stub shafts to the d30...

$25 for...

I agree with Va. There is no reason to on the D30... The brakes are bigger and what not, but it will also require 16" or bigger wheels due to caliper size. That said, don't let me stand in the way if you want to try it.
No material was removed from the spindle other than to fit it into the knuckle. The spindle to brake bracket fitup was not altered in any way. Also, I checked WMS-WMS and it came to 63 inches. So an additional 3 inches to the width.
