I have heard stories about 44's and anything bigger than 35's. But that could give me a reason to ditch the 44's
alot has to do with your type of wheeling.a friend of mine runs d44's has been for 15 years with the same axles.he has broken a hub or two but it was his fault there not the axles giving up on him.(slinding directly into rocks with them)and he runs 42 on  them

All a rub front axle is a dana 30 with a 44 ring and pinion.  I wouldn't trust 37's on a stock rub front axle.

Well, thats not quite right.  The D44 center section of the housing is larger and is also gusseted more than the D30.  The D44 inner shafts are also larger than the D30.  The only common interests between the D30 and D44 are axle tube diameter, inner shafts and the knuckle.  I would run a 37" on a D44, but not if you live on the pedal.

In Mike's case, he has the "Next Generation" D44, which is a bit stronger in a couple of key areas over the TJ D44.  Also, Mike is "pedal smart".

It's still got the 30 tubes. It's not beefed up too much. Not enough for someone to feel perfectly fine on and wouldn't on the TJ Rubi 44. Are the shaft splines different? Same U-joints, right?

jk D44 has 32 spline shafts, but yes, the tubes still suck.
