flyn2er Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I scored one over the weekend. FREEBIE 4.10 gears and disc brakes and 58". I guess it's time to start thinking about a SOA. Has anyone on here installed one of this in a jeep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnj92131 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Nice deal: Dana 44 and the track is about an inch narrower than the Comanche dana 44. For wheels you can use the Rodeo 6 bolt wheels if you don't mind carrying 2 spare tires. Available in 15 or 16 inch size. Lots of the 15 inch Rodeo wheels in yards. My 2000 Rodeo has factory 16 inch wheels. Check out Honda Passports also, they are Rodeos with a Honda name on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody4359 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 how are the rodeo 44s in comparison the a 29 spline 8.25, is there much aftermarket support in lockers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 The Rodeo 44 has a regular 44 differential. anything that fits in an MJ 44 should go in the Rodeo version. :thumbsup: I'd probably go with a semi-built d30 up front and then get converter spacers for the rear. That would push the rear tires out a bit so they look normal, but won't pull in the front pivot points more than they are already. Then I could run some TJ 15x8 canyons and live happily ever after. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64 Cheyenne Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Why leaf springs in the front? Are the coils not a doable set up, or would stock/coils be a step backwards with the FSJ axle? Are the FSJ axles doable with a coil spring setup? Reason I'm asking is I have a line on a FSJ 44 for cheep/free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyn2er Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 I was looking for something a little different. I've grown up with leaf springs and thats why i favor them. There's weld-on bracket kits for the waggy 44 coil spring set-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyn2er Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Got the 44 in... 2" YJ springs in the front sitting a narrow trac waggy 44 Need to drill new holes in the LCA brackets and try to get it back some... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
