Sorry, I should've said I've never seen one. At least not on a Cherokee.

 

well i'm doing the 9in in the rear and i got a dana 44 front both out of a 67
bronco

 

Beautiful setup. That's gonna be able to take some serious abuse if you do it right.

 

^^^^ thats the plan thats why i keep asking what this guys plans are a 60 front is way more than just about anyone will ever need a 44 will do just fine

 

What rubber do you plan on using? And what are your off road aims?

 

If he's planning on 38s I'd go with the 60 just for added security. I've broken a shaft in my front 44, which are chromos, running 35s.
Look at Rustys Offroad's XJ it has a 9" front axle. It is a Curry unit and cost about as much as building 2 60s.

 

^^ the 60 is the ideal front it's just alot to turn.. your 4.0 must have to work to twist all that wieght in any mud

 

correct me if im wrong but i thaught if you have dif gears in the front than the back it ****s **** up when your in 4x4 so yu would have to fine the same gear ratio as the stock one but in a dana 44 lets say?

 

love them. they're beefy and eric does a great job at fabbing.
i think these are the third set he made. i like them better than the claytons kit.




^yes, you need to run the same gear ratio front and rear (within a couple of thousands, for example 4.09 and 4.11 is fine and 3.54 with 3.55 is ok, but 3.55 and 3.73 are not.)

 

yes but thats easy...most who are doing axle swaps will do both..otherwise you just gotta do a gear change

 

the price difference between a d60 front and d44 front is crazy. you can get a ford hp44 for about 400 bux, but a d60 is at least 12-1400.

 

$400? Please point me in the direction....

 

guys, you just got to buy whole vehicles i bought the bronco that my 9in and 44 came out of for $500 no title rotted junk but... had those axles and a devorced t-case and other tid bits then i sold some stuff and junked the rest

 

I spose. I got my '87 for $900 with a D44 rear and HP30 in the front. Not that great, but considering it had ARB lockers in the rear it was a nice find.

And just like my truck I'm sure your parts will need some TLC before just slapping them on your Jeep. I'm alright with that, some won't be.

 

you gotta come north of the border, i guess.
hp44 and matching 9 inch goes between 5 and 6 hundred on average.
got a set in my garage to go in the xj soon.
