McNeil D35 axle???

[Twisted4x4]

Was browsing through an old issue of OFF-ROAD magazine (Feb 2008) and found an interesting article about a 97 Ranger 4x4 Prerunner/Chase truck. During the build they used a McNeil Dana 35 TTB Long Travel front axle. Was wondering if anyone has used that axle and what they think of it. Personally I would just fit a D44 TTB, same thing pretty much right?

Yep, other than being a few pounds heavier due to the bigger brakes, hubs, and diff housing.
