i have a dana 44 (year is 94)axle and it 8 bolt. my questions is would that dana 44 with the 8 bolt be stronger then a dana 44 5 bolt axle for bigger tires (35")? thanks

 

I do not know, but it would seem logical. Maybe checking Dana website would answer the question.

 

Would your year have been in b/t axle changes from the factory?

Purpose of the 5 bolt 44? Is it from some other vehicle? I'm trying to understand the application relative to the question.

 

8 lug dana 44 is the same as a 5 lug as far as strength. You can run 35s nicely with d44 though no matter the lugs lol, i do. 8 lug d44 is from a 2500 LD truck

 

well rite now i run 35's on 44 and the 35 are starting to cause neg camber. So i was going to put the other d44 which is the 8 bolt in (it was free), or should i just hold out for a d60? And just hope that the d44 last that long till i find one.

 

Find a pair of D60's. Much stronger than the 44's. The eight lug isn't any stronger than what you already have. It's the same basic axle, with different hubs on it.

 

Thanks guys
