I agree w/ everyone else, the D44 is a nice axle but the 7.3 is going to put out SOOOOOO much more torque than they are designed for. Stay with the cruiser axles, disk brake conv. on both ends and I think you are going to have to do something with the front leaf springs to support the weight.

What would be perfection would be to swap in the whole drive train. Eng, tranny, t-case, axles.
