Dana. 44 from a cj7?
 

Would I be able to Bolt this into a Cherokee? It's from an 84 or 87 cj7

Front or rear?

The rear

It's an 84 and it's under the axle leafs
I guess I would have to weld spring perches on top.?

Thats what I'm thinking, plus I'm not sure about the width or bolt pattern.

Width I'm sure will be different.

It's narrower, different bolt pattern unless it's from an 87 then it's a D35 cause that's a YJ not a CJ.

If its a wide track D44 then you can bolt it in but the bolt pattern is larger than our Xjs. CJ production ended in 86 and was replaced by the Yj Wrangler in 87. And yes, you will have to weld spring perches to the top of the axle due to Cjs having spring under suspension.

I've always thought that the axles were narrow when he got the jeep. It was like a sky scraper and it could flip going around turns. I think I'll wait for the next opportunity or go to the jy and hope for a 87 tow package xj

:D:D:D

:whistling2:

If you pass on this CJ 44 would you mind providing me the sellers contact? Could use it for a Scrambler build coming up..

We live in Ridge, new York in long island. It's got 4.10s and an arb air locker and he's looking for a grand for it. Pm me if your really interested

What's with the brows and whistles lol :P

I've got an 87 two door with a tow package....with an airlocked D44.

Two doors are sexier than fours.

You sir have gold that is air locked haha. When I bought my jeep, I couldn't decide between the two. :/. Maybe my next toy will be a 2 door!

I wish it had the 242 tcase, tho. That'd be uber rare.

Whys that? I got a D44 with an AMC242 case.

I would have had the non disco front axle then, from the factory in 1987, with a D44 rear...

Not too many of those around.

Lmao. My Jeep is an 85, was stolen, stripped, rebuilt and retitled as an 87 cause that's what the donor was. I got a D44 rear, non disco D30 and AMC242. So maybe that "rare" one was my donor?

Yeah, could be.

Sad.

So I should look for a tow package 87 xj that has a 242

It doesnt have to have the 242.

Do they come with d44s in the front?

Not the Cherokees. They were all D30s.

Aaaaah I was under the impression it was d44 front and rear :x. What would be a good axle to swap into the front? 79 f250 hp d44?

Depends on what rear you get.

That one would be full width.

I thought so. I like the width of the stock Cherokee axles. Are waggy axles worth the swap in?

Yeah, i think those are the D44 width ones you want.

Ok, I'll probably troll around the forum and read up. Thanks for the help

Np. :cheers:
