Ok guys i have a question. I think my chrysler 8.25 has spit a few teeth of the ring gear and through the cover...I have not pulled the cover as I havent got a chance to move it into the shop yet..

I have a front and rear waggy 44. It seems to me the rear 44 is kinda smallish on axle tube diameter. It tapers from the housing ends down to a smaller size before it goes into the center housing. Is this a very good axle to use..I want to narrow it a bit. I know some of you like your fullsize axles under your rigs..I have seen on pirate that some guys go for the isuzu dana 44 for the rear disc brakes.. I have this axle but unsure if it is worth a $#!t.

I am currently running 33" boggers and may only step up to 35" when these wear out. Any info would be great...
