Hopefully we'll see Teraflex do an install video. I'd love to see this.

Wow... What an expensive way to beef up a 44... When at the end of the day it still has the same size 44 ring and pinion as all the other 44s... Which in terms still just as weak.

This plus gear, locker, shafts, truss, sleeves, labor... And your at the price of a full float 60.

I doubt you'll find someone who has done this when you can get a full float 60 for the price this will get you into.. Possibly even a full float Dynatrac for the amount of money

Thy Dynatrac 80 (I think that's the only full float they make) is like $6500. 1-ton swaps would be less, but then you're getting fat unless you trim it, but that's even more money.

I don't see me doing either anytime soon, but it would still be cool to see how it goes together.

The TF takes you to 8 lug, the spinetechs keep 5*5.5" lug pattern.

It's a lot of cash- you'd have to really be committed to your axles to spend that kind of money.

I believe Joe TF's rep runs both conversions

I am not up to speed on full float conversions. How does the spline change work?

Do you also need to get new 35 spline front and 32 spline rear lockers? Or maybe new ujoints to connect the front 35sp stubs to the stock 27sp inner shafts? And maybe the new 32 spline rears are tapered down to fit into 30 spline carriers?

Kinda like someone who trusses, sleeves, gussets and regears his Dana 30.
