I am going to pull a part tomorrow and wonder what I could get a Dana 44 out of that will be easy to put under my jeep.

XJ44 87-89 mostly found in 87s. I find most of them to have np242s so look in those esspically.
1980-1991 Grand waggy- Not exactly bolt in, but the leaf perches are the exact width. They are a bit wider and a diff bolt pattern and what not.

only if it's an xj waggy.
fsj waggy is full width, and most likely an off-set rear pumpkin. this is ok, not desirable, but will work with some fabbing of brackets etc.
but then you would need a full width front axle to match, which are usually passenger side drop and you'll need to do some removing and fabbing new front brackets too.
not to mention, these are 5 on 5.5, so you'd need new rims. also you'd prolly need to do a brake master upgrade to power the larger brakes.
at that point, i'd just grab a set of ford full size axles.
