I still haven't put it on her yet. So far it only has the 4.56 gears installed. I heard the yukon axles are great, though, so I've been thinking about that as well. I believe they're chromoly or something of that sort.... I want to make it as bulletproof as I can before I fit her with it. Or should I just scrap the 8.8 and go with a Dana 44? I've heard they're comparable.....

X2. I think it's a $50 difference, and it's worth it. Mine survived two rolls, and now dukie is using it on his. IROR all the way.

The iro group is growing steadily....just as planned!!!!lol

And i straight up beat my xj wheeling. So if it can handle rolls, my severe abuse, and what the iro guys dish out. Its a extremely capable part

It's just that here in Puerto Rico, 44's are kinda pricey and hard to come by. Someone who is selling one thinks the damned thing is made of gold!!!!!

I think in your particular case. Id go with the ford. You already have it and it sounds like finding a reasonable 44 isn't going to happen.

Just build it before you snap it. And get rid of those terrible c clips asap
