Gear upgrade with AX15

Thanks for the comments, I am going to put the word out to some of the shops around here and then start looking online. If anyone here ends up having one, I am in the market, but would like the disc brakes!

Your disc brakes from your 30 should work on a 44.

I guess I'll stop making excuses and just get moving on finding a decent D44. Thanks for the info, now I just need to figure out which type to get.

I found an extra Bronco take out D30 power lock with a set of clean 3.54's.

Hey I am in the STL area and may have a D44 that I can sell. I imagine that its a 3.50 gear currently.
If you are considering going 35's down the road I would at least go to a 4.11 gear and preferably a 4.56 when swapping.
I will DM you my info if you want to contact me.

That would be great! Yes I was thinking 4.56.

I just recently built a 44 to go in my 69 half cab luber project...eb 44 I already had, rebuilt factory clutch style traction unit shimmed Xtra tight, 4.10 gear, cheap chromoly axles and 760 joints, ford 78 disc brakes and knuckle, will probably swap out the clutch ls for a torsen diff...built 302, 3 spd, 33x10.5-15

Nice! I have to hold off until the spring or so for this next project it seems. I just had a new Wild Horses EFI tank put in with a Sniper 2 setup and the wife said that's enough...for now.
