I was wandering if a set of Dana 44's from a cj would work in a xj?

i dont know what year the cj is and what width the cj axles are but ive heard they are narrower.

thanks

there was a thread about 3 hours ago in which it was determined that a narrow track CJ d44 axle is about 10" narrower than an XJ d44

Sorry I must have been skimming through. Does that 10" make a difference or can it still work?

Agent_Oragnge

yeah it makes a difference.

Hoooper

you could just put 5" wheel spacers on each side

Agent_Oragnge

that just silly. don't do that, just buy 1 10" spacer and put it on one side. wait that would mess up shaft alignment. better go with the 5" spacers.


HAHA

My feet are size 13, can I wear a size 3 shoe?

Not even then.. But good math haha

Worshers

so its sounding like it wont work.

Front axle would be passenger drop too so no go.

Why not swap in waggy 44's? If that's the route your wanting to go? They can usually be had pretty cheap

i havent had any luck finding waggy axles and the axles im looking at are on a buggy project car that some guy never got around to finishing and it has dana 44 set and 35s on it. i dont know what year cj they are out of though

xjmarc

If it has them front and rear they aren't stock. CJs had a D30 front so who knows what they are out of.

Worshers

what is the axle length in a stock cherokee. D30/8.25 is what i got underneath
