Thats the route Im going. I dont wheel hard enough to need the big dog axles. I have a Corporate 14B just sitting in the back of my old truck, but I decided Im going to keep the D44 out back and beef it up and add a Detroit. Up front Im going PR44. 37's the biggest tire I will ever go to and Im sure the PR44 and Factory D44 will be able to handle the work I need it to.

I just dont have the skill level Ace and Dirty have. Im stuck with bolt on stuff. Although, both threads taught me a great deal about axle swaps/axles in general. So yeah, thanks for a very good write-up/ tutorial!
