MJ D44 Tube diameter

[Incommando]

Is the axle tubes on the D44 2.75", like a D35, or 3.0", like most D44's & an 8.25"? Confusion is reighning in u-bolt ordering :hmm:

Dana 35 - 2.62 inches

Dana 44 - 2.75 inches

Chrysler 8.25 - 3.00 inches

If its a MJ, XJ or TJ D44 the tubes are 2.75.

 

The D35s are 2 9/16

 

But other D44's are different diameters depending on what they where origionally used under. Remember there are 1/4 and 1/2 and 3/4 ton D44s. :cheers:

It can get confusing though. There is SO many different possibilities out there and with all the people they are dealing with they have to be sure. I am sure they get calls all day long from guys using odd junk yard axles they got out of a yard. It recently caught me odd when I realiized I have 3 rear dana 60s in the back that are three different tube sizes? (2.75", 3.125" and 3.5").
