Dana 44 swap into a 2000 xj, ABS ?
So this may be a dumb question but i have found a good used dana 44 out of a 88xj, stock, drum to drum. Just wondering how hard it is to swap into my 2000 XJ, also i plead ignorance that i do not know what rear end it has now, nor am i sure if it has abs or not.

It is not hard to swap at all,there is a good chance you have an 8.25,best way to tell is to measure the axle tube and see if it is 3" dia if it is 2-3/4 it is a d35. If you have abs also it will be a d35 and have wires going to the tone rings on the wheel.
A couple of issues to make sure of is ratio,make sure it is compatible with your front diff,also your axle tubes depending on what size they are you may need new u-bolts,and last it is possible you would need a different driveshaft again depending on what axle you have now.
