Is it a big hub 44?
Nope. Standard HP from a 79 F-250

Looking to see how low I can get and still be 4wd. I only need 4wd to get me through rough wheelin park lots and out of wet grass.

I cannot count the times I have been stuck on wet grass. That is why I am converting my dually as well. I have gotten it stuck on dumb shit.

The big hub 44s are getting hard to find. I liek them on a cool restored or custom rig, but not for something that gets abused.

haha. I feel your pain.

And I agree. This is a pavement queen. Doesnt see much abuse.
The diesel will work the D44 ball joints hard, but I am ok with that.

I pulled it out of the garage in mid-Jan to get stuff out of the bed. Then I got stuck. Haven't been about to get it out yet. Moms 2015 F-350 couldn't even get it. Bent my bumper in the process....
