Yeah that's about what I figured just don't want any surprises before I tear into the DD. I think NAPA Premium is Moog on some stuff. I remember Ford's having the one time use nuts, haven't seen any mention of that on Chevys.

All of the national bearing hubs at advance are moog.
If i were you I would buy one from a dealer. According to factory specs on the 05 superduty hubs (which cost $500), the ones that we carry on the shelf are not useable. There is a considerable amount of play in them out of the box.
Just for future reference if anybody searches for this...
www.dmaxstore.com sells Timken Hub Assemblies for a Chevy Silverado for $189.95 with a lifetime warranty. Timken is the OEM manufacturer, and this same part goes for $242.95 at Autozone with only a 3 year warranty. So that's kinda awesome.

Will a low pinion 44 carrier fit inside a high pinion 44 housing?

70s and 80s junk should interchange.
some stuff like a true track is directional, watch out for that.
...
Look at or call randys ring and pinion, I would bet it's different.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
Carrier is the same. Only place you run into issues is like flem said when you have a posi track or an oddball 44 like the JK44 or the HD44 in the WJ grand cherokee/97+isuzu rodeo

all high pinion 44's only use a low gear carrier(High numericly) in pretty sure
No, they use both carrier breaks. I just pulled a low break carrier out of my 77 F150 hp44 when swapping to 4.56. Maybe you're thinking of the issue that there are no "thick" ring gears available for the high pinion like for the low pinion. So there are no r&p's available to use the high ratio on the low break carrier.

The bronco I have has a HP 44, and it has 3.55's in it.
I found this on another website...
so carriers don't matter for high or low pinion, but gears doDana designed the first reverse spiral axle in the early sixties for Ford. Dana released the 44RS for production in January 1965. Early enough to possibly be under a few rare 1965 F100's, however no written confirmation on this has been found. The 44RS was a complete new design in axle, with special design to lube the pinion that was above the fluid level. This axle has also been called the Dana 44 High Pinion, Dana 44 Reverse Rotation, Dana 44 Reverse Cut, Dana 44 High clearance and many more names. A reverse spiral axle has the center line of the pinion contacting the ring gear above the center line of the axle, and thus has different lubrication passages. This axle offers a strength increase over a standard rotation axle while in forward movement. It allows the drive shaft to contact the pinion yoke at a much higher level of connection, thus keeping the drive shaft several inches higher. The gears are not interchangeable with gear sets that are designed with the pinion below the centerline of the ring gear, however the carrier is. Reverse Cut refers to the direction the ring gear is cut for reverse spiral housing. The axiom of the reverse cut is to strengthen the gear while in the front drive axle of operation. Standard cut gears can not be swapped with reverse cut gears, however in the Dana 44 the ring gear carrier can be swapped. High pinion, Hy-Pinion or Hi-Pinion are all slang used in and out of the industry for a reverse spiral axle. High Clearance is a Ford marketing term used for the reverse spiral axle. Reverse rotation: is the single most misused axle term. Reverse Rotation is a slang term used to describe a reverse spiral cut housing. Neither the axle nor the axle shafts travel in a reverse motion, or travel 'backwards' compared to a regular housing. This term only shows the ignorance of the person or company using it.

Looking at shocks, who makes a good one??? Skyjacker Nitro 8000, Fabtech, TeraFlex 9550, Bilstein 5100?????
they all have different applications they are better at. some people like the sway-a-way's due to the external tread top cap, some like foxes for the stanless shafts and cleaner top cap, some like king for the choice between race or prerunner series. in the end there all pretty close, pic a color. this only applys the main 4 shock manufacturers normal in stock stuff, cause some of companies have some neat pure race stuff but its $
