eh, I'm just being a cranky bastartd since I can't sleep. I'm 7 hours ahead of you guys and my sleep patteren is all messed up. Left DC at 10:40 pm last night, took a 16.5 hour direct flight to Dubai. went to bed at 11pm this time and I've been wide awake since 4am. This is the exact reason I drank so much last summer on my mid-east trip, to get my sleep patterns back to normal! Gotta find a bar tonight!

correct for the most part. just to be a smart@$$, the case split on a d44 is 3.92 and down, and 4.09 and up. so yes since you didn't buy a "thick" gear set, you will need a new carrier. jeff's bronco grave yard sells them for cheap.
D44 Open carrier complete, 3.93 - 5.38

because you are a tard?? 
I can tell you by your pic, you don't have the thick set. post up the part number and where you got it from and we'll see. The other question is, since you don't know what you ordered, did you even order a RS set for a ford front, or is it a standard rotation set for everything else?
close enough, at least you got the gist of it. As for the notch, it really doesn't need to be that much, just enough to slide the c-clips in. Of course you could have fixed all of that with a set of c-clip eliminators which uses a pressed on bearing like a 9".....

So, if you only want to run the axle for a year, why are you changing gears? Also, the gears for a Ford front D44 can be swapped from(I'm not 100% on the begining year) 74 or 75 to 96. I don't see why you would spend $$ if you don't really know what you are buyin.

i wouldn't buy gears from summit, so i wouldn't have that problem.i'd go to someone who mainly deals with 4x4s or a site that had better info. check out Ring And Pinion Gears, Axles and Axle Shafts, Drivetrain Parts and Tools - Accu Auto Parts they have some pretty in depth coverage of what you are buying, so you know you get the right thing

do you know if you have a high or low pinion 44? they have low pinion listed for a 75. either way you need a new carrier, but figure out if you have a high/low pinion, cause you might have the right gears

its high pinion...
im pretty sure the gears i got do not require the new carrier...some of the other ones list that a new carrier is required and some dont....mine doesnt...but then again, it doesnt say "thick gear" either
the reason i went with summit is because they are the best place for me to buy...im under 18 and i live in canada...paying and shipping ****in BLOWS when you are me....nobody else will accept any method of payment i can do...except money order but that takes too ****ing long
EDIT:: i checked out that link dan and i like the site...except they have zero shipping/billing information....wtf? lol

i've bought some stuff from them online with a debit card. this may sound dumb, but do you have walmarts in canada? because if you don't have a bank account with a debit card, just get one of those reloadable debit/credit cards from wally world. accu auto doesn't have the cheapest prices, but they do have a lot of special offers from time to time, and they are a good site to use as a reference for parts info.i bought my 4.56 gearset for my 10.25 from them for $200 on sale, now they're listed at $247, so if you check there often you can find deals
