Dana 44 ?

[Jeffrey92r]

would i be able to take a dana 44 out of a 88 jeep wagoneer and put it in a 95 jeep wrangler without modifying the differential?

Front or rear D44? Also the axle will be a lot wider than a standard wrangler width.

the rear dana 44

what would i need to do to make the rear dana 44 compatible with my 95 jeep wrangler?

The lug pattern will be different and the axle will likely be wider than your front. If those don't bother you, you'll at least have to modify/relocate the spring perches and shock mounts. Not hard by any means, but not a bolt on either.

You might want to consider a ford 8.8 swap then. The width is roughly correct and the bolt pattern is the same if its off an explorer, mustang, or crown vic. You just need to relocate the spring perches.

with the 8.8 swap, if you use a 96 & up explorer rear, you gain 31 spline axles and a rear disc brake setup
