For the Dana 44 or 30, there is nothing even close to the beefiness of the Currie drag link and tie rod.
I run the PSC hydro assist kit. Unless you are running 40s, get the trail and street kit. The only difference between it and the extreme kit is that it comes with a 1.5" diameter ram instead of a 1.75" ram. The response off the larger ram is too slow for smaller than 40" tires and leads to "wandering" on the highway. I bought the extreme and am about to switch out the ram for the 1.5" because I do drive on the highway.
Off Road Evolution makes the only sector shaft brace I am aware of that is not custom built.
Then, you want a weld on replacement bracket for the axle side trackbar relocation. I'd ask Currie what they recommend for running their drag link flipped with hydro assist and Reid knuckles.

i think the axle side track bar mount is ok on that axle. but i am worried about the frame side track bar mount and want to run the TF brace and drag link flip. i also want to run a bigger tie rod Currie or teraflex i dont care. i wanted to run a sector shaft brace with all of this as well i just don't know if all of this is compatible.
the hydro assist is defianatly in my future.
as far as the knuckles go what is the benefit and what weakness do they correct? i am not familiar.
thanks for all the help so far

With 40 inch tires it is not as much of an issue and the steering is pretty much seamless. However, this winter when I ran my 37s, the slower response was annoying for highway travel because I had to react to the slower response with steering wheel input.
The smaller ram is more than sufficient for 35s or 37s.

The reason I ordered the setup is I have play in my box, and it's leaking. Didn't think I'd be making this jump now, but I'd rather do it once.
