Hello once again, so i was out wheeling and snapped the rear axle shafts. The rear end is a d44 out of a 89 waggy. I want to upgrade to chromoly shafts but i am having trouble finding them and even stock replacement shafts. Has anybody done this with this rear end or know anyone who sells 30 spline chromoly shafts 6 0n 5.5 for this rear end. Thanks again.

thats a good question. a buddy of mine runs F & R waggy axles and last time he looked around no one made an off the shelf rear shafts. I sure if you contact superior they could custom make you one. Also this was about a year ago so things may have changed.

I looked around on line found out that bjs off road sells one made by dutchmen but its not chromoly I'm gona call them an some other places in the morning. Front chromoly inner an outer shafts for the front are all over the place. Wish I could find some chromoly rear shafts.

No one makes rear chrome-moly shafts for any semi float rear axle because they don't flex and semis need to flex. Your only option is an alloy like 1541H and the like. Stay away from Yukon, Superior and Dutchman are excellent choices.

Try Alloy USA.. I know they make them for the XJ and TJ. My question is why You keep braking them? I know a bunch of ppl who beat the **** out of stock d44 axles.. I personally went Alloy usa. Also TRy Moser, and Currie.

If you want absolute strength go with 33 spline and upgrade your carrier

Ok. Thanks again ill look into that today.

umm its more then upgrading your carrier to run 33spline shafts. you have to have a d44 33spline locker and last I checked there was only ARB and Detroit that made them.

I did some checking last night and it does look like they are custom order. Only place I saw that even had the waggy44 on their website was Moser.

Thanks. I ordered them through bjs offraod which was the only place i could find.
