Im unsure what to do so im asking for a little advice..... i have acess to a hp d30 ford 8.8 combo or a set of d44s out of an 88 waggy. i am having trouble making up my mind on what i want to go with. I will probably never go bigger than 35's (on 33"s now) I just want my money and time well spent, my rig is a dd and im getting a little more serious into wheelin
ya i want to ditch the 30 ive just noticed alot of ppl seem to run it with just an upgraded rear, and the axles are pretty much a package deal, also i was just considering the hp30 because it is a simple swap from my lp30

Save yourself a whole lot of work and trouble and go with the d30 and 8.8 combo. If you are never going bigger than 35s and are just getting into wheeling, a dana 30 should hold up just fine to all the abuse you can throw at it.
I have a D44 rear from a Scout w/ an Aussie and a hp30 up front with a Lockright with 35" MTs. Besides the usual maintenance things (ball joints, unit bearings, etc.) not a single thing has broken on it, and I wheel the thing hard.
That being said, I have a friend that built a front waggy 44 and is only running 33s. That is just plain overkill, IMHO. Maybe I just like keeping things too simple and you may disagree. There have been a lot of threads on here comparing the waggy 44 and hp30, so I don't mean to turn it into a debate on which one is better, but from the description you have given, it seems to me that you would get by just fine with a simple hp30 swap.
