So Im having a HD30 regeared to 4.56 as we speak, based on what the front diff had in it already that was paired with the 44 I'll be putting in. I just cracked the hat on the 44 for the first time to check out the state of the internals and I was quite surprised to find a 50/11 ring set in it rather than the expected 41/9. I don't think such a small difference in ratio's will matter overall but I had never even heard of a 44 with this tooth count before. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Anyone else running this ratio?
Never heard of a 4.545 ratio before but it'll be fine with the 4.56 front. It should be a stronger gearset as there's more chance of having 2 teeth in mesh

Yeah neither had I until this but after some googling that's the general consensus (being stronger). Just wish I knew what brand they were.
Actually I've heard bith sides if the better and not debate because on the flip side the less teeth on the pinion the larger&stronger they are.
Personally I don't think it would be much difference.
But to the original question I'm not running it but its perfectly fine. Just use it.
