Actually I plan on hauling a 15,000 pound goose neck trailer with a 502 under the hood. So I need the better brakes up front and I also don't feel good about putting that kind of stress on a D44 front. I think the HO52 I have is plenty strong but the 14BFF I am looking at has a locker and brakes and gears are a lot easier to find.
