quite a bit ill grab a tape measure tomorrow and compare it with the front d60 and my superduty's front d60. It was an 1-1.5" if memory serves right. The d70u's have more clearance than an old school d60 for perspective.
No it has axle shafts inside of it.
As for the nissans blowing d44's I still don't trust one behind a reasonable v8 there is a reason ford only put the 8.8 in the v6 and 4.6l trucks I bet the 5.4l would smoke them.
Nope but it has an arb in it making it simple enough to swap to a 1.5" 35 spline shaft and 8.9" ring gear. That makes it on of the stronger high clearance rears out there.
Its going to depend on the d44 for stength. Nissan equips an 8.9 ring gear and 32 spline shaft model in their titan that is bigger and stronger than the 8.8" f150's have stock for stock. The shafts in the rubicons might be weaker but it won't be by much. They also have the 8.9" ring gear.
Military BFG Baja T/A's 37's are radials. The only 16.5" military bias plys are 36x12.50's and most of those are gone.
As for the 8.9" ring gear for a d44...here. Make sure to look on pirate for the how to on installing 8.9" jk ring gears in a normal housing.
Just run the d44 with the locker. If your nervous about strength look into swapping for a jk d44 gear set and there is a company that can rebuild the arb for 35 spline shafts.
Considering you are only running radial 37's mostly on the street I wouldnt worry much.
Been amassing the parts to swap a 6.8L V10 into my 2005. So far from what I have seen online size wise the motor should fit. Couple of examples of the 5.4L fitting without cutting the firwall. The 6.8L just adds 4" in the front over the 5.4L and it ends up being shorter than the 302 from the...
Doesn't matter load wise they both have the same shafts and bearings. Ring and pinion will only help the transfer of power from motor to wheels it has nothing to do with the load carrying ability of the axle. On the semi floater 7.5 and 8.8" that is carried by and identical set of bearings and...
Gross AXLE weight rating. The stock 8.8" and 7.5" in all rangers is rated the exact same 2750lbs regardless to spring pack installed. It is called the GAWR for a reason it is the rating for the axle it has zilch to do with the vehicle it is under.
D30's are only rated for a GAWR of 2650lbs in a JK, D44's vary from 2800lbs-4000lbs (HD model F250's) and D60's vary from 4500lbs to 7200lbs (super 60) not to mention the sheer number of different version of the same axles they are not all rated the same nor are they built the same.
Holy hell this is completely and utterly wrong...The weight capacity of the housing has nothing to do with the name. I am just going to leave it at that.
