where to find a Dana 44?
I was wondering in what cherokee's were the Dana 44 rear ends put in? i've heard some people say that 44's were put in cherokee's with a tow package, and my mom has a '90 laredo 2x4 with a tow package and I was wondering if it might have one cause its kinda my donor jeep. if anyone could give me an idea what year and model that a dana 44 rear end was put in cherkees that would be awesome! thanks!

They were found in 87-89 xj's with tow package, and some of the fully loaded limited had them.
Also they can be found in MJ from 87-92. They came in the Metric ton package, as well as some other models. Be advised the MJ one is not a bolt in swap, the perches need to be moved, and shock mounts welded on.

This might help you to identify. The 44 is pretty distinct shape-wise.

thanks a lot for the info! you've told me exactly what i wanted to know. and i am pretty sure the tow package that my donor jeep has is from the factory because it has the button for comfort or towing on the dash.
