would older d44's be good upgrade?

BlacXJeep:
What are they coming out of? Make sure they are not 44a's, which would mean aluminium, don't want those...

reptile610:
everyone i talk to says not to run anything bigger than a 35" tire on a dana 30. my LJ had 35's on my dana 30 front and dana 44 rear and i never had any problem other than they needed to be regeared badly, though i know a buddy who is running 37's on his dana 30 in his JK but he also hasn't regeared.

Your buddy's JK must be extreamly under powered cuz my stock JK Rubi W/4.10s & stock 32in rubber is gutless as is right now. Also that D30 W/37 on the heavy JK will not last long if he wheels it hard. The front axel will start smiling at him soon. Meaning the axel tubes will start bending. The JKs are much heaver than the CJ's,YJ's & TJ's. My 4DR Rubi is 5700lbs before adding all the skids & bumper.

Mr Rock:
Wow, is it really that heavy? that's more than #2000 heavier that my YJ
