Dana 44 upgrade
So long story short, picked up a 98 Cherokee Limited and the rear end just gave out. Found a Dana 44 from an 89 XJ on craigslist for 150. From what I have found so far, the only thing I need to worry about is finding a shorter DS. Is that correct?

Depends on what rear you had, and what trans you have.
This may not be a bad time to do a SYE of sorts, depending on what your doing with the rig.

Well it had a 8.25 on it and has the AW4 trans. This will mostly be used to pull the boat and day to day activities.
