1/2 ton or 1 ton... this is the question?

your 1-ton diffs are gonna hang kinda low on 37s.

Tell me about it.. ugh. 35" bald ass mud kings on a D44 have more ground clearance than my fresh 37's on a 1 ton...

But you can always hammer the shit out of the throttle and make your way though most things that would kill a D44 trying it

Yeah, the more i'm thinking about it i will most likely end up with a 40" tire... So much for keeping it simple right. Its the bronco addiction

My heavy 408-powered rig with the 39.5 IROKS has been routinely shredding D44 front axle shafts for years now. Wishing I had gone with a 60 up front aside...I recently bought a set of the RCVs but have not been able to put them to the test yet.

I also have everything to convert my '78 Bronco on 38s to 1-tons..having given up on the 44 in the front of that for the same reason; the 408 snapped any brand front axle like a twig. Never hurt the rear 9" though...and it with "only" 31-spline aftermarket axles.
