For for 2200 you can get a 9 inch from currie ready just weld on the spring perches and shock mounts.Or the housing and axles for a grand throw in a 3rd member and junkyard explorer brakes will be cheaper i bet.

Every other d44 has 1.24 shafts at the narrow part and an 8.5 ring gear compared to the 1.30/8.8 of the f8.8

I'm not familiar with what's in the new rj 44 though

Ahhhhh, that's right the jk stuff.
That's why its worth 3k

Wow, I just read the thread and was getting ready to say the exact same thing. No offense to anyone and I'm sure everyone appreciates the professional opinion, but man arguing with everyone when you can't swing them to meet your opinion is just ****ed up. I'm sure I speak for most when I say, thanks for the professional advice and information, but damn, give it a break.
