Hey so quick question about the swap I'm working on
#1, are the u bolts the same size for the 44 as the 35. Or will I need new ones?
#2, will the drive shaft match up or will I need new one?
Ohhh yahh........so my jeep is 92' 2dr and swapping in D44 out of 88' Cherokee

From what I hear you should grab the driveshaft from the D44 and use it as its shorter(?) then the one from the D35.

Its shorter due to longer snout length of the D44. It will help as well if you've lifted your rig to regain some yoke back in the tailhousing.
