Next stupid question:

I see the ring gear bolts are 3/8" and the holes in the True Track are 7/16" What gives. I could understand the need to figure for slop, but this is ridiculous.

The bolts sre going to allow the ring gear to shift back and forth causing them to shear off.

I'm not liking these 44's at all, but too late now.

Was there differant size ring gear bolts at some point, I didn't see the option when I ordered everything.


#%&*@

You have a true track for a later D44 (TJ Rubicon maybe) and your ring gear is for an earlier one. If you redrill it will be fine but you won't be able to send it back for any reason. You could make some steel bushings to fill the gap if you wanted to take the time.
