What I really want is a D44ish axle but with more caster and lock out hubs. I don't want to have to buy a $7k D60 for the front. Looks like the next best option is a new D44 housing and a conversion for $5k. Not a huge savings

No it's really not. You might as well save for the 60.

$7k sounds kinda light for a PR60.
Just curious, why the lockout hubs? A PR44 with the extra caster and a properly setup driveline (ie no vibes) is a solid set up. Sure, maybe a little more wear and tear on the driveline than if you had locking hubs, but just not seeing the value add on a 44.
It's just a preference I suppose. There may be no tangible value.
Edit: if the lock out hub conversion made the semi float axle a full float axle that could be considered an improvement.
