What about those really low 5.xx something gears that were being sold here a while back. They might be a good match for 35's...
Yes but the fronts 5.38's are near impossible to find. You can get the rears pretty easily though. Those that have the 5.38 fronts tend to know that they can get a lot for them :-(
And yes they did the high speed balancing when they rebuilt the driveshaft. Nice shop here in Houston.
Right unless you do a SAS. Probably less work to do a SAS than to source these rare Isuzu gears...
Its too bad that 4.56 is the lowest readily available gearing option, its really the only downfall to the Isuzu 12 bolt. IMO if gearing wasn't an issue, I would take a 12 bolt over a D44 anyday, the strength is comparable (as Billy said) & 3rd member axles are much easier to work on.
