Ok, I know this is probably a really stupid question, but I am really in need of upgrading my gears. The problem is that I only have the Dana 35 rear axel and there doesn't seem to be any aftermarket gears for this setup.

So what I want to know is what all is involved and what all will I require to upgrade my rear axel to the Dana 44? Also, I haven't noticed any type of different set up other than the Dana 30 in the front, is there a heavier duty front axel available for our jeeps yet? I figure if I am going to change one, I might as well change both.

Finally, what kind of work is invovled in this? To this point I have done all the installations on my own, with the help of friends of course, and I want to keep it this way because I am learning so much and loving every minute of it.

Well thanks in advance for all the advice.

 

You can get some Rubicon D44's and they will bolt right up.

 

Yeah, Mopar has a sell going on on those right now. So you have a 2 door, correct?

 

Where did they get that quote!? That would make the front d44 about 1500 which is a great deal. I would take one at that price.

Yes, I work a Honda dealership and we have Jeep next door, my friend, a fellow Jeeper and the Chrysler Parts manager, was telling me about that the other day. It's an excellent price. It's my understanding that that is complete, with lockers!

 

yeah, i have a 2-dr. thanks for all the info guys. so i am guessing i can just call the dealer and see if they have the dana 44 rear and front all assymbled?

that isn't too bad on the pocket!

 

Yeah or get them to order them for you.

 

The dealer just came out with a deal for dana 44 with the rubicon locker and disk brakes for approx $1200 i cant remember the exact price.

That truly is a good deal if you can get both front and rerar axles with the Rubicon 4.10 gears and Rubicon lockers.

Keep in mind that the pinion is longer on the D44 so you may have to get shorter drive shafts. However, if you add a lift or have added a lift you may be fine.

 

I'm guessing this is just like the elec disco swaybar ordeal. It's priced low to keep initial warranty claim numbers down. Once they start seeing a bunch of orders the price will go sky high.

If I had an X or Sahara I couldn't get to the dealer fast enough.
