I am currently getting into the hemi upgrade I have the 5.7 with the auto out of a 2500 I am looking into the Burnsville kit but wondering what everyone is doing with diffs is the d44 strong enough or is a d60 needed. I am currently running 4.88 gears so its goin to be pretty low geared. Driveshaft lengths? Looking for some help. Any input

 

I have a 5.7 Hemi from a Ram 1500, I have dana 60's 5.38's and I bend axles, mostly it happens with street driving.

 

Reaper,

I ran a small block Chevy 408" in a Scout for several years with a D44 and didn't break it. I did have 3.73 gears though. Burnsville has a shop here in Denver, they do good work and will give you all the information you need when you call for the kit. I think you will love the power of the 5.7! My 408" had 370 HP on the dyno with 400 ft. lbs. torque and it moved pretty well, the mountains here didn't even phase it.

 

I've been thinking of using 2500 diffs to hold up to the hemi still trying to find time to work on it has anyone done anything like this ?
