I soo special
Now that you are going with a doubler, do you regret putting all of that effort into that Dana 44?
There are a lot of metro sexual men out there now days.

Not yet. I hated the way the D60 steered in my last truck and hit everything. D60 is a pig.
Object now is not to drive stupid
doubler give more options = need to take little less chances = possible longer life of a 44/10bolt . . . . till it goes boom then a 60 
Ok, so I know that I am a rookie as far as wheeling, but what part of the D60 steering was bad?
I understand how it's big and hits stuff...
And what do you think it would take to get a high pinion D44 to get some of the strength of a low pinion 60?
Or is that not plausible?
I know that you don't need a 60 in your truck since the K5 still has a 1310 at the yoke...

Lots of money, and even then it may not be..
The HP is supposed to make the D44 pinion and gear stronger, and chromos in the tubes helps. Still using 1310 as a fuse in the driveshaft, steer clear of the undercuts.
I never liked how that truck steered after the 60 went in. Like the way the K10 steers w/o one...
I agree, but I was thinking if there was a percentage of D60 strength....
But didn't you adjust the caster some on the current 44?
Would that account for a bunch of difference?
Believe me that I am NOT questioning your plan, just wanting to know more!
Probably playing into that for sure. This axle is set at 7* WITH the pinion up. That one is in standard D60 position, no shim
I heard 30* stronger R+P on a high pinion over low pinion. Weak point is still the axle shaft, or likely the cheap azz Warn hub centers. Broke 7 of those and 2 superwench hubs before I used the Spicers. Then it broke the cross pin in the ARB

You sir are assuring to me the 30 spline stock 10 bolt I have will live a long and prosperous life.

If it's not locked, it stands a chance!
Oh, and that D44 had the Warn chromos. Probably THE best chromos ever made.

God doesn't damn pictures. Nor does He take pictures when damning.
Everyone knows that.
