....I may or may not have a South American XJ HP D44 sitting in my storage shed back home....
A little info on them - they are basically a HP version of a Rubi D44 (without the air locker). Still has D30 outers, but does have a bit stronger ring gear. I plan to "Cal-ify" this axle (truss, sleeve, 30 spline inner/outer, good u-joints - probably go with the Alloy USA full 30 kit w/ 30 spline unitbearings) WJ knuckles and brakes, JKS steering (or similar). Just have to figure out the details - heims (or rod ends?) vs TREs, over or under knuckle (most likely over) - I also have to learn the difference between a heim joint and a rod end....I seem to be confusing the two from time to time.
Cal (or anyone else)....opinions, suggestions, thoughts? I'll be running 33s. No desire to go 37s, thats just crazy talk
