Well I go by the motto, "Mo bigga is betta.", but really depends if you want five and/or 8 lug setups.

What size tire are you going to be running? 60's are badass, but sometimes a bit overkill for people's needs.

I think generally, from a strength stand point, d44's are good up to around 38-40" tires, but obviously there's no rule for it and there are a lot more determining factors. I would think a d44 be would just fine, especially because it's just your daily driver, not an offroad rig. But, if you think you'll be concerned at all about running a 44, just go with the 60 for piece of mind. Can't go wrong with too much! After all, overkill IS the American way!

D60 no questions asked. If you go with the 44 and start adding more power bigger tires ect... You will be kicking yourself when you have to tare all that apart again do put a 60in. 1 and done
