which is stronger 8lug dana44 or 6lug 10bolt front axles i said dana44 and some people said stick with the 10bolt front and 14bolt rear but than i have two diffrent wheels just looking for opinions whichis better

I would go the way that lets you have matching wheels till you can swing a 60.

I agree keep it 8 lug, even if its a 44, then when you can get your hands on a 60 it will be that much easier to bolt in. I had a 8 lug 10 bolt that did well, with 35's and no locker, but when I got my 60 it was pretty much a straight bolt in for me.

They're about the same axle, so I would say "neither". :D

If you need an 8lug 10bolt, find a 3/4 Burb, there are lots of them out there, and rob the hubs.

i have searched axle question

no you didnt.



d44 and 10b are exactly the same axle whether they are 6 or 8 lug,
all of the stuf from the knuckle out is intercahngable.
both are found in every 1/2 and 3/4t from 1969-78[d44] 78-91[10b].
all 10b spindles are exactly the same.
d44 3/4t are the exact same as the 10b, 1/2t use a smaller inner bearing but the exact same outer
all outer axle shafts are interchangable from 1969-91.

the only parts that are not interchangable are the gears, inner axle shafts, diff cover and housing.

the only true strength advantage is the 10b pinion shaft is bigger. the inner shafts neck down to the exact same thickness, the spindles cross over, the outer shafts are the same.

no you didnt.

the 10 bolt fronts stopped in 87/88 with the exception of blazers and burbans. 1/2T and 3/4T pickups switched to IFS in '88, and blazers and burbans joined the IFS bandwagon in '92.

nnnnooooo shit, ya dont say.

:lmao::lmao::lmao: toooooo funny!!!!

at least he SEARCHED:homer:

nnnnooooo shit, ya dont say.

You said every 4x4 1/2 and 3/4 ton til 91 had a ten bolt front. you were wrong. so yes, nnnnoooooo shit.

I don't understand why you "pirate veterans" get so butthurt when someone makes a simple correction to a post.

i think the "every" in that context was talking about every solid axle. I think he knew that general changed over to ifs... this was a question about solid axles in 6 and 8 lugs. Also with out searching just reading the first three pages of this forum it is more than covered!

as to people that have put there time in getting tired of smart ass up and comers...well it might have to do with people that could have answered the question but lurked... then pounced to try and seem like a super smart vet, just to come off like a nub with a lot to learn and with out a willingness to listen.

just a guess:homer:

read it again shit stain,


wtf do you not understand
both are found in every 1/2 and 3/4t from 1969-78[d44] 78-91[10b].

69-78[d44]
78-91[10b]

write that down :laughing::laughing::laughing:

I'm not butthurt. :confused:

wow..

whered the newbies come from?

solid axle half tons and 3/4 tons from 68-91 were either a dana 44 or a 10 bolt.

thats been decided. its fact.

if someone asks a question about IFS, then we can respond to the IFS part.

isnt that easy enough to fucking understand?

Im pretty sure thats a little more smartass than a "simple correction"... By the way, I wrote it down for future reference if it makes ya feel any better. :D

You may well be worthy. take some time to utilize the sites extensive informational database with the search engine. Learn how to use it. dont waste our time with bullshit questions...

You're a "good noob". :D You can be educated!

Thanks. I TRY not to bite the hand that feeds me when Ive got questions of my own...:D
