It was a very well written post. I will only toss a small bit of my cents into the pot. If you are going to run a non bead locked or non aired down high traction tire than by all means keep the IFS and with some small work you will have a competent comfortable light trail and DD.
But if you are going to go to a str8 axle and spend the time and money on parts why would you pass up the strength and piece of mind having a 1 ton axle? Hell you can find paired ton axles out of CUCV for as low as 500 a pair. Thats a D60 front and 14B w locker rear with 4.10s.
In my humble opinion bypass the D44 all together and go str8 to a D60. Pay once and never have to worry about larger tires or adding a V8.
