Ran across this discussion today and maybe it has already been covered, but it's not exactly true anymore (maybe it was when they first came out?)
I just installed the U44 and it definitely has heavier C ends than my Sport Dana 30 or my Rubicon Dana 44. The bottom half is just a little larger, but the top half is way beefier.
When choosing a front axle I went straight to Dana, explained what I used my Jeep for etc. and they gave me the pitch on the U44 and said the C's were heavier, blah blah blah, so I bit. Then I read this on this forum (and others) the C's were the same and got all freaked out that I had made the wrong choice. I'm not sure why Dana chose not to include the very important part of beefed up C's in their advertising on the U44?
Just wanted to throw that info out there, cause it would have kept me from buying it if I had read anything about the C's being exactly the same beforehand.
I don't feel it was a bad purchase for the money spent ($3K to my door) for what I do anyway.
