Then why bother with a D60 since a D44 offers greater ground clearance?

Because the reverse cut 60 puts the pinion on top.... Reducing the
driveshaft angle compared to a regular setup.

Re: 93 YJ Axle Question
Jerry's got a point. I installed a standard D60 a few years ago, right
before all these custom-center section 60's came on the market. It lost me a
great deal of clearance at the pumpkin, however it'll take something
extraordinary to break it.
IMHO, if you plan to stay with the I6 forever, the D44 or 9" is probably
strong enough for anything you can throw at it....but, it's always nice to
have some reserve!
