Is there anything about swapping a Dana 44 into my 93 XJ with ABS that I should know about? I'm just concerned about the fact that I currently have ABS and don't know if there's anything special I need to do. Will I still have ABS, will it just bolt right up and hook right up? Thanks.

 

abs is just on your front axle right? shouldn't effect the rear at all. What are you getting the 44 from? another xj?

 

you could adapt your dana35 brakes to the 44 iirc.

if not, then say goodbye to your abs, i have never done the swap so i have no idea,but i have seen people simply cut the lines and drive it.

 

Well, I saw a write up on JeepHorizons I believe about replacing the rear brake hose(from the frame mount hard line to the axle mount hard line) with a YJ hose to compensate for a lift and the picture the guy put in there shows just one hose. Mine has that hose plus two additional smaller diameter hoses. All 3 going from the frame to the axle? So, I'm thinking maybe I do have rear ABS?

 

Hmmm... You should have 4 wheel ABS... but as far as the other hoses... I have a D-35 ABS outta a 200o sitting in the junk pile. I will have to go take a look at it.

If the D-44 doesnt have the ABS set-up... kiss the ABS there good-bye...

 

Make sure the gear ratios match up..
