yup, still looks like an 8.25.
you can use any ratios from 4.10 to 4.88. most would say 4.56 is ideal, although i prefer 4.88 because it keeps the rpms higher and in a better power band.

A D44 is a military axle so if HD is what you want thats what you should shoot for. They can be hard to find just look for old Jeep Wagoneers at the junkyards they carry D44's and expect to pay a nice a dollar for em because those are like gold in the offroad scene.
