So my question is this: I have an 89 xj. 87-89 xjs that came with a tow package had a 44 in the rear. Mine has a hitch setup. I was wondering how to tell if I got lucky with the factory tow package and a 44? Or if the hitch is aftermarket. Thanks

 

i had an 89 and my 90 both had tow package and both had d35 stock.

i had 2 87's without tow package and both had d44 stock.

i haven't seen any other year other than the 87 that had the d44.

but get under the back and look, if it's oval, then it's a d35. if it's got flat sides, then it's the d44.

google d44 diff cover, they're all the same no matter what vehicle they're on.

 

Hmm. Alright cool thanks! That should help me.

 

 

Ah awesome thank you
