Yes, the shafts in a factory front Dana 44 will have beefier shafts with 30 splines whereas a Dana 30 will have only 27 splines. The stubs are the same.
What is the main difference between the Front Dana 44 on the Rubicon and the Rear 44?

Aww man I thought you were being sarcastic lol.
From my understanding it all really depends on the type off offroading you do. Add C's reenforce a weak point on the axle but can still bend.
So to answer your question yes for a short period of time because u will have the mindset that you can now go harder with you newly installed C's so that's when they can bend lol.

It more than just the type of wheeling other factors contribute to making the already weak point more susceptible to bending.
:cheesy: Sorry, I thought you were kidding.
Being that you're in FL, you'll probably be fine with just adding c gussets. Bending of the axle tubes typically happens with hard and fast driving like what you can do out in the west.

Thing is, what are hard wheeling? What Eddie calls hard wheeling is probably insanity for me and what I think is hard wheeling that have a stock saharah 2012 is for sure a sunday walk in the park for Eddie and his friends.
What is easy for me to do is impossible for my friends that have normal sedans with 2 wheel drive.
Anyway, I guess that normal driving and some "overlanding travel" on bad roads from one country to a another a stock axel with stock tires like 32 to 33" will work. Correct me if I´m wrong.
But one thing is for sure, you Americans and Aussies can all be very happy because you have some great landscapes to explore and a lot of nice trails you can drive. Here in Sweden we do have nice scenery but no trails at all and the kind of nature we have make it impossible to go wheeling like you guys can do. Thick forest, very big stones and large hills of stone everywhere and on top of that it is forbidden to take the car ouside the road ( doen´t matter since mother nature makes it impossible anyway).
So, it is with envy I sitt here in front of my f***ing computer screen, watching your lovely adventure.
Happy Wheeling all!

That top one looks pretty bad. Dana went down hill in the past few years on their quality.

Could someone explain what exactly would cause this to happen?!
A lot of throttle - sudden stop if the rear tires - rosette welds breaking - diff housing rotates up.
