To me it wouldn't be worth it because I would gain zero strength for all the money I put in it, just lockout hubs. Before I decided on Reid's, rcv's, and arb I was going to do a 44/60 hybrid with 99-04 ford 60 tubes. That would have gave me hubs and strength, but the cost/effort didn't add up to me.

By going a d44/d60 hybrid you are going to have to run custom shafts possibly. Which can be costly if you need a spare. But it would still be cool to see if it works out.

my plan was oem ford length chromo shafts. i have a 35 spline arb, and would have widened the axle tubes to match the ford axleshafts for this reason.

The only way you benifit going to a 35 spkine front is if you did d60 outer knuckels and inner c's. Other wise you will only be able to run 30 spline/19spline outer and wouldn't getting any more strength out of it.
