BTW, just order something from OR Fab and you will receive a lesson in how to securely package an item for shipping, I have yet to come across a company that packs a box so well. it is almost like OR Fab does not want you to actually put hands on your purchase, but just keep it in its box

I ran 40s on rubi D44s for about two years and wheeled them hard. In that time I broke 2 front axle shafts and shattered the center section in the rear which included the gears as well as the shafts. I did upgrade to RCVs on my 44s before getting one tons and during that time the fronts held up fine with wheel spin and load drop on the rocks. Ultimatley, I wouldnt reccommend the 40/D44 combo unless your content breaking something and then fixing it because that will indeed be the case.
