500 MJ Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Found an MJ 44 close to home FS. It has my 3.55's already in it and I've wanted one of these since I have learned that they were an option on MJ's. Question is: When I put it in the MJ will I have to shorten or lengthen my driveshaft to do it? I have a 27 spline 8.25 in the rear now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 D44 does have a longer pinion snout, but since you're lifted around 3" I think you'll be fine with your stock driveshaft, it may even be better than with your 8.25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500 MJ Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 The driveshaft I have on there is a cut down 2wd shaft. I have some play on the slip yoke. Anyone know off the top of their head just how much longer a D44 snout is than an 8.25? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 D44 does have a longer pinion snout, but since you're lifted around 3" I think you'll be fine with your stock driveshaft, it may even be better than with your 8.25 The D44 is longer than the D35. It is the same as a Chryco 8.25. Your drive shaft will be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
