DANA 44 build-up
I've decided to upgrade my rear axle just for the heck of it, not because I think I will ever blow up my D35, as I do not rock climb - more like wheeling on trails, forest roads, mud and snow.
I have acquired an original 87-89 XJ Dana 44 with 3.07, which is already in the shop getting stripped.
A friend is giving me his Alloy 30 spline shafts, as he is upgrading to 35 splines on his TJ.
I have already sourced a 4.10 ring and pinion kit (Spicer 706017-5x)
The intention is to install an Eaton e-locker, but I gather there are a number of parts I am missing. What else do I need to get to complete this project?
Do I need a new carrier since this was a 3.07? Are there any ring, seal, or other kits I need to get to complete the overhaul?
Thank for the info....

Thanks for the info.
I am also doing the ABS modification. Just sourced some tone rings and the shop will machine them and the shafts to tap them on. found a great thread on how to do that...
