Check on "fullsizebronco.com". Pretty sure there are some guys running them in D44s on there. Just a little pricey for my budget.

I've heard of lots of people using them in Dana 60's and beating on them with no issues. You can't beat the warranty and they wouldn't offer it if they thought they would be breaking all the time. Only real downside is the high price really. However, considering they are guaranteed to last beyond the lifetime of the vehicle.

While not officially advertised, it is fairly common knowledge that all of the Toyota chromoly CV's are made by them (both TG and Longfield's, as well as Nitro's) and it pretty much changed what was possible using Toyota drivetrain and just about everyone uses them with great success. Take that, and realize that the Dana 60 and similar 1 ton stuff is twice the size as far as the CV bell and axle shafts and know that they are pretty badass.

Bill (Molly) runs them in the front 44 on his Bronco. Broke one running Indy/Patriot and RCV replaced it, no questions asked if I remember correctly. He loves 'em, especially for ice racing 'cause they allow him to run a tighter turning radius due to design. No u-joints to bind up.
