yeah I'm gonna do that when I put some new seals in. The 44 in a 4x2 is a bit rare, so although I was thinking replacing it with a 9'', now I'm thinking of just building it up. It should be able to pull what the frame can hold right?

yeah the truck is rated at 6000 but I was hoping to mod it out to a bit more. I'm thinking like 8k. After that I'm gonna get into steering/braking issues. Plus the frame is probly gonna be maxed out by then anyway. I'm planning on going with an extra strong gearset, along with (if I can find 'em) some extra splines on the axles. I'm not a four wheeler, so I think the 44 should be fine.

From what I can see it looks like a low pinion=good to go. The high pinion is a "reverse cut"=not as strong.
If I have this right, it's the difference between pushing and pulling the ring gear. It's always easier to pull something as opposed to pushing it.

The difference between a reverse cut and regular pinion is which side of the ring gear tooth pinion drives on. In a regular R&P setup the pinion pushes against the drive side of the tooth, not the coast side (unless you're in reverse). When you use that same setup as a front axle it needs to spin the opposite way for the wheels to turn forward, so now you're pushing against the coast side (backside) of the ring gear tooth when driving around. The coast side is not as strong. To my knowlege there is no high pinion reverse cut rear axles, only fronts.
