comanche13 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 ok i want to take the dana 30 and stick in a dana 44 or toyota diffs but is there any company that makes new mounting brakets? whats a list of things i'll need to also change? if it has a 4.oL 5 speed
Darren Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 A toyota front axle has a passenger side differental were as our jeeps have a drivers side. So a toyota front won't work. Rubicon Express makes a mounting kit for a front axle. So does TnT Customs. As far as what else has to be changed just depends on lift height and components used. If your swaping an axle your looking at steering and driveshafts to say the least. Its a hard question to answer without knowing your plan for the truck and or budget. The only thing stock on my truck is the rear axle (housing only), leaf packs, and motor. I've replaced everything else.
Eagle Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Clayton's Off-Road makes (or used to make) a complete kit for installing the front D44 from a full-size Cherokee/Wagineer in an XJ/MJ. Don't know if they still sell it.
reson46 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I think Ruff Stuff has a front axle kit too. Willy
Pete M Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 If you're looking for a project, a good combo is the Grand Wagoneer front axle and the 94-95 Isuzu Rodeo/Honda Passport Dana 44 rear axle. Same widths, same 6 bolt rim patterns, and the Isuzu rear can be found with disk brakes and 4.10 or 4.30 gear ratios (the V6 had the disk brakes).
Darren Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 the only difference in lug pattern between the waggy 44 and the isuzu 44 is the waggy is standard studs and the isuzu is metric. but that's an easy fix.
