Thanks! I have to lift mine so wasn't sure. Saw a video with a 992 and mine doesn't do that. . Figured I'd ask you before ordering a set. Already replaced the ones in the rear.

392, and definitely an improvement over the 6. It is also a 20th anniversary edition so it came with some extra goodies. The grill being one of them. It's a 23, but it came with the 24 grille, so it looks newer.

In other news... A Dunkin Donuts (are they just called Dunkin' now? ) opened up in the lobby of my building today. Donuts... Donuts everywhere! I'll eat them if someone brings them up to our office but I know for my own welfare I can't walk in myself. I do not have the self control.

So...

Dana 44 M210 wide front and rear.

What does the wide mean? It means it is wider. Supposedly chrome moly axle shafts, but there is some debate about that.

They do beef up the frame and suspension to handle the engine weight.

No 2WD ever. 8 speed auto 8HP75.

It looks like they beefed it up where it needed. Haven't heard of anyone snapping anything....yet.

Accurate. If I start going there, I won't stop and will eventually be 70% Dunkin'.

Dana 44's have been around forever.. We use them in Frontiers.
If you don't do anything foolish off road I wouldn't be worried about them. Not everything needs Rockwells.
