looks right. I think the 35's are more oval and the 44's are somewhat tear-drop shaped.

Very strong. The reason you want the Dana 44 over the d30 is because of the larger pinion. Everything else is the same.

First year, first run had some D35 rears.. It was changed very quickly after the JK was released.

Does anybody actually know why they put 35s in some of the 07s? Just curious.

Cost cutting. No other good reason.
