ARareBreed Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'm looking to rebuild a Dana 44 and put it in the rear of my MJ, what vehicles has an equivalent DISK axle that I can swap in? I'm doing SOA, so I will be welding on new perches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 If you find an XJ or MJ D44 at a reasonable price, grab it. It's real easy to swap in disk brakes from a ZJ or Ford Explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroNautical Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Some WJs DO have dana 44s, but avoid them, they are aluminum. (Why?) I see JKs in junkyards alot around here, all have Dana 44 rears, with discs, though I don't know if they are the same width as our stock axles.

Crash Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 WJ are about 4" wider than XJ/ZJ/MJ axles, IIRC. JK axles are slightly wider than WJ axles. IF you want a wider stance, and to run JK wheels, and can get them for a reasonable price you can go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
