I wouldn't try to make a 9 inch out of it, but i would get bigger u-joints and clearence them, Here is a couple of links to beef them up.
I will eventually do this and a few other little things just to make it that much better.

thanx branman looks like they'll help out quite a bit
Alot of it depends on what terrain you will be in like if you are in rocks that thing will break but in mud it still has the chance to break but not as much.

Nope, can't make a high pinion out of a low pinion. If you flip the chunck it will run backwards and you will have oiling issues.
if you want a high pinion front end... which will help you out on driveline angles, help keep you from bashing your front driveshaft on rocks, trees, small cars. hopefully you also have a driverside drop tcase. ford offered driver side high pinion D44s in all their 70s f15s and most 250s got the 8 lug d44 some were lucky and got the d60 and yes that is a high pinion d60... which makes swapping in a left hand side tcase worth the trouble. on the front axle a high pinion has a reverse cut on the gears which allows the gears to pull on the "drive" side of the gears instead of the "coast" side of the gears, where a low pinion frond end pulls on the "coast" side of the gears. what that means is on a spiral bevel gear the teeth have a flatter side and a curved side where the pinion contacts the ring gear.. the drive side is the flatter side... which gives a good strong flat contact patch where as the curved side isnt as good for pulling... high pinion rear ends have the hardest job because they have to pull on the coast side... which is why currie hi 9 inch rears have whats called thrust blocks to keep the ring gear deflection down... the pinion and ring gear actually try to push each other apart which can cause broken teeth as they deflect out towards the edges of the teeth... even big rig rear ends use this tech... but for the most part most of yall can get away with a d44 from a late 70s ford truck throw some good shafts and ujoints in it and ride on out... ha.. i love axles and if i have confused anyone just hollor at me.. i tend to ramble at times but ill help ya figure it all out...
