WJ Dana 44 into ZJ
Alright so I want to get rid of the junk 35 in the rear. The JY around me has only 35s accept for one Dana 44 out of a 99 WJ with the V8. The gears are 3.73 but it would be regeared before install. Question is .. Is this axle still a bolt up even though it's from a WJ? I know the bolt pattern is also different but wheel adapters can fix that. Any help is great.. Thanks!

Yeah the rear suspension is different its wider and wrong bolt pattern.If you want bolt in it has to be from a zj anything else will take welding to fit.

The WJ also has a single upper control arm. You'd have to weld mounts for your uppers on it anyway.
