I'm looking for some opinions on how much I should sink into my diffs. First, the background. I've got a 77' F-150 SWB with 6" of suspension lift under it with a HP D44 and a 9" with 3.54 and 3.50 gears currently running on 36x12.50 TSL bias. This is my DD but I don't mind sacraficing some streetability. I've got a D60 sitting around for the rear and plan on a 60 up front, but not for another season or two (or until I spew whats under there now).
What I want to know is how much $$ would you spend on the 44 and 9" considering they won't be around forever? I want to run Detroits front and rear but I'm not sure I want to drop that kind of cash on these little diffs. I obviously need some gears.
So what would you do? Just gears? Go with lock-rites instead? Or say fawk it and just pimp out the 44 and 9" with gears, Detroits, shafts, and CTMs then wheel the piss out of it?
39"s or 40"s are in the plan to go on with the D60s so the little diffs can't stay forever.
Bottom line is, how far would you go before you felt like you were wasting your time and $$$$?
