hes got 8 1/4 rear i think.? that d44 would be an upgrade.. and he said he ran 38's on his d30.. so i think downgrading to a 35 shouldnt be so bad..
he d have to upgrade the front gears to 4:56
if your willing to make the drive theres a guy up here in Williamsburg Va that has 44s, trussed with a detroit and 5.13s up front, aussie and 5.13s in the rear. He's not actually parting it out till the first weekend of February.
