cody4359 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I'm curiouse as of why there arent more grand cherokee dana 44 swaps? they already have disk brakes and if your doing a SOA you have to weld on perches anyway.
Geonovast Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 The GC D44s have an aluminum center section that makes it not very desirable.
mnkyboy Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Its not a very good offroad axle,it has an aluminum center section that gets cracked and the axle tubes aren't any bigger then the d35. A lot of grand cherokee guy pull them and install D35s
Incommando Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 A 29-spline 8.25 is much easier to find, cheap (my last one was $40), and are nearly as strong as a real D44 and better than the D44A from the GC.
cody4359 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 i have 2 29 spline 8.25, and went to pull apart and yanked the disk brakes outta a grand cherokee for them, i just don't like how there isnt many options for lockers/selectable and was curiouse. thanks guys

A lot of grand cherokee guy pull them and install D35s Most of my GC wheelin' friends converted to 8.8's for this reason.
mvusse Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I have a buddy who wheels a ZJ on 35s. He swapped out his stock rear axle for an 8.8 also.
