Im going with a 44. wider then a toyota and cost less then a 60.
Hey Hyena, any idea how much wider? I plan on converting my Toy 8 to IFS hubs (+1.25 per side), using my 1.5" wheel spacers, and get some custom offset wheels, like only 2" offset or something. I should be almost a half foot wider on each side when Im done, hopefully.

does any body know the breaking point of a d 44 in pounds
The same as a Toy 8". According to Longfield, its almost 4,000 ft-lbs. (http://www.longfieldsuperaxles.com/graph.html)

Hey Mike,

If you are torn between the two, then consider that Toy 8" has better ground clearance, smaller hubs (don't stick out as far).........
