I wouldn't think much if you get em from one of the older XJ's. They should bolt right in!

It's a different story if you're trying to get them from one of the current JKs.

They are a complete bolt in

Front, rear, full width, what are you getting them from? Need a bit more info.

I don't know of any front d44 that is bolt in, except one from a tj rubicon.

Only way I know to go full bolt in would be to pick up a D44 from a TJ Rubicon and a rear D44 from an older XJ... But I don't know how close to matching WMS they are.... Another option which I just found out about about a month ago or so is some of the LJ's have D44's front and rear, they just aren't equipped with lockers like the Rubicon versions are... A co-worker of mine has a 2006 LJ and I did the VIN build sheet and it came back showing she had D44's front and rear w/ 4.10 gears installed... I'm currently trying to search for a set of axles out of one of them for an upgrade for my XJ... wouldn't be too bad if all I had to do was have someone do the welding for the brackets on the rear axle... and I'll have better axles front and rear as well as 4.10's all in one sweep...

More specs please. If you're talking a rear D44 from a 87-89' Xj. Just bolt that bitch up, done! If you're talkin a transplant from a ford or chevy. Then you have some work. Can you provide some details. I'm a dumb ass. So I couldn't give you all the stats. But I know Steve can. I have yet to stump that guy. And what are you replacing and why? Maybe it's not really worth it. Your jeep your money, yah?

D44's came in Grand Cherokees as well. All D44's were not made equal. :bang:

The XJ D44 rear is the same width as the TJ rubicon D44 front. And yes some of the LJ's came with D44's front and rear. However, it is hard enough finding somebody parting out a rubicon, almost impossible to find somebody parting out a LJ
