swapping dana 35 to a dana 44

Quote from hookedonthebay

Thanks to Deadfeat posting up a craigslist add in the swap sale forum i finally have scored a dana 44 rear axle from a 1997 tj, suppose to pick it up this weekend. i know that i will need to regear the front from 3:73 to 4:10 to match the new rear, but what do i need to purchase to adapt my existing drive shaft from the d35 to the 44. outside of the drive shaft is there anything else that i should need to complete the swap? any input you may have would be great.

A finders fee is customary.

This is what im running, works great so far.

I built those for andy the last time he was on the lift. We can do all the work at the same time if you get the parts. Can easily be donein a day. Just ask santa for ruffstuff or amazon gift cards. Also arent you getting a tax return :).

Not sure of the exact length you will need per side but I know 24" will be more then enough to cover both. I believe it was like 8-10" per side. Ill measure mine in a bit.

I measured ruffly 8" off tubing. I also recommend up grading to the hex style tubing bungs like on mine.

No problem

And A cheaper Sye kit. I havent heard anything bad about this one. I think Aaron said he is running it in his street jeep, Could be wrong

I ran the Performance Offroad SYE for years with no problems.
