So, I may upgrade my OE 30. Want to stay as simple as poss, ie, same ratio and manufacturer to bolt in. What should I look at for a price?
Limited slip is preferred but open would be OK, I would just install a detroit or something similar.
What the heck, what can I expect to pay for a 9" big bearing? 3:50 LS.
Thanks!
Duane

Re: Front D44 with 3:50 and discs price questions
A Bronco D44 is a direct swap. Did I recall you swapped to discs on the front already?
For a rig such as yours, you wouldn't need a full locker (as in replacing the whole gear carrier). You'd be just as well suited with a lunchbox locker like an Aussie or Lock-rite for half the price and you can install yourself easily.
Price - sorry, been out of that market for too long! But I don't think you'll be breaking the bank...

D44 w/disc prices vary by availability, last one I sold complete was $350. It had a open diff & 3.50 gears, keep your eyes open on here, CL and I'd also look at CO4x4.org.

Duane,
I might be your huckleberry on the 9" big bearing, depending on timing.
I have a bug bearing housing with 10-1/2" brakes.
Currently has a spool and 4:88 gears. I'm gonna use the gears and sell the balance.
Hit me up if it's of interest.
