At some point I wanted to change out my rear dana 35 for a dana 44 is there going to be any problems switching those? I know its alot more complicated than taking one out and putting another in but will the 44 be the same putting in as another 35 would be? Thanks!

Are you getting the D44 from an SJ or an old XJ?

I haven't looked so i don't know where the axle would be coming from...I'm assuming if I could get one off of an xj that would make things alot easier.

yeah if you get one from another xj it should bolt right in only things you might need are different u bolts the 44 tubes might be bigger and if i remember correctly the 44 is a little bit bigger/longer to the yoke but your stock driveline should have enough slip/play in it just something to look out for

Did my d44 without any issues. Mine was out of a 87 cherokee in a JY. 200 for the rear end and runs fine.
