And yet, you still won't find them for a D44 axle, unless you get them aftermarket.

3.55 is by far the most common ratio for the 8.8 that I've seen. 3.27 in a 8.8 truck axle only happened for a few years, that I'm aware of.

Remember, I have 4x4. Any changes to the front have to be changed in the back as well.

(Except in one instance that I have in my head, but we're not going to discuss that here, at least not now.)
