I scanned this thread rather quickly and excuse me if this was mentioned earlier, but other than the actual diff itself, there is nothing different or stronger in a D44 over a D36 suspension. Half shafts, knuckles, spindles, etc. changed somewhat from year to year, but are the same for both a D36 and a D44 for any given year. Any one doing the conversion can save money by not buying and paying for a complete suspension. A complete WILL provide you with spare parts in case of a breakage, but no strength advantage.
