Ok so I'm gonna be trading a set of spare leaf packs for a d44 rear that a buddy had under his 00 sport but the gears are gone, my questions are can the zj disk brake setup work and can I take the gears out of my 8.25 and put them into the d44? I'm new at axles and gears so any insight would be great thanks.

Ok thanks that was I thought but getting it for free I'm not complaining. Ill just get new gears and call it golden

If your 8.25 has the gears you want to run why are you swapping axles? Your profile states you are only running 30" tires, a 27 spline 8.25 is more than enough for that size tires. If you didn't know that you can not swap R&P between D/44 & C/8.25s you will need someone to set up your gears which is very costly.

I know its not needed but I'm getting the d44 for pretty much free so I figured why not throw it in, especially if I could have swapped the gears over it would have been just the cost of gear lube and a gasket for the whole swap but since I can't ill just keep it around for a rainy day.
