The 44 from the 85 will be TTB dana 44 not a mono beam.

If that is one of those split axle dana 44s its a junker, people with 89 broncos are always doing solid axle swaps.

That Dana 30 is a lot tougher than people give it credit for. Tust me, I know.

Why do you want to upgrade? Disc brakes? Strenght?

If you want discs, do a "chevy" disc swap.

If you want brute strength, find a 73-79 F150 dana 44 high pinion and have it narrow down, becaue that will give you the high pinion, discs, and dana 44 in one deal.
