He's not asking about a ford 44 or xj 44 he's asking about the dynatrac 44 which is far superior to any factory 44 ever made, thus the extra cost. Yes it cost more but that's because it's a stronger axle with better parts throughout. I'd buy one if I had the cash and by even asking I assume he does, I can't understand why people would want to try and talk him into getting a weaker axle even if it is cheaper, a stock 44 isn't really much of an upgrade when you look at the parts offered, that said you'd need to spend a good bit of cash upgrading it anyway to get it anywhere near as strong as the dynatrac.
