You might search around a little more unless you need it now. I don't know about New Hampshire, but around here in Indiana, dana44s are a dime a dozen. I wouldnt pay over $100 for one. A dana60 i might pay 600 for though.

A solid axle D44 is no stronger than a TTB D44.

The axles are the limiting factor.

35+ tires need a D60 for any kind of reliability.
