Sounds like we agree.
I think there is a guy in North Texas that has broken a few center shafts......He has broken a few front shafts as well as as his friend. Tibus used a D44 aftermarket Yukon ujoint in his 330m front shafts to avoid the tractas.
D44's are what they are, lightweight 3/4 ton, some good some bad. A high pinion in the front is strong but no match for a Dana60. I know Roger is a 2.5 ton fan and they are a great bang for your buck but also heavy and wide.
If you have never looked here before, there is a wealth of innovative products. www.spidertrax.com Knuckles that turn 60 degrees....and an internally trussed 9" housing, talk about slick.....heard all the cool kids are running them :)
