On the D44 I'm building the knuckles I'm using are originally a full-time drive hub setup which is nice because it is very strong as the axle shaft is splined right to the hub itself, however I have since found that there is a conversion kit to use a milemarker manual hub setup. Price is not really an issues as I would hav eto buy the parts for either and it comes out to about the same for everything I need at this point. What is everyones opinion on whether I should stay with the full-time hubs or do the conversion to manual lock hubs? Keep in mind this is a daily driver, will end up with a locker in it at some point, and is only being pushed by a tired old 2.3L. I'm leaning more towards the manual conversion, the only thing I worry about is having the extra hub parts to break, although with the hubs if something in the front end breaks I can unlock the wheels... So what does everyone think?
