4 speed, and shes way UNDERGEARED... I wish I had 5.13's!!! I mean around town she is barable and off-road she's ok, but shes lacking power for sure. The majority of well built trucks I've seen with 44's have at least 5.13, but then again they mostly run C6 auto's

Hope that helps!

I prefer the miller lockers over the lincoln lockers

Also, if you are going with 44's you'll want at least the 5.13s.

lincoln locked rear? on the street? you're gonna snap some axles. Save the money and get an ARB air locker or similar on demand locker.Also, like spools, Lincoln locking is illegal for on the road applications in most states.

i always go by the old marine motto when welding... two is one- one is none... therefore i double the weld i think i'm gonna need!!!! five extra pounds of rod never hurt anybody's diff before, as long as there's room for the axles to slip into place.. LMAO
