Hey guys, I admit I didn't do any research because I need an answer somewhat quick because of a short offer. Will a 99.5 Dana 50 solid axle be better then the 44 ttb. I can get it for free but needs new seals and ratio is whatever came from factory and I have 4.10. My hth is wore out. Needs input seals and ball joints. I know the Dana 60 is sought after. So I guess for a mild build farm truck is it worth putting in there? Any advice would be great. Have till end of night to make my mind up or he is going to junk it.

The spring perches have to be cut off and moved for the SD axle to bolt up to your springs, and you would be running two different wheels. The "99 and up wheel bolt pattern is metric 8x170mm and the OBS is 8x6.5. Not worth the work in my opinion, especially if you're gonna need to put money into it.
