I was running 3.5" lift where high steer flips start to be beneficial.

Anyone know how much higher the U44's track bar mount is than stock?
Also, does anyone know if how much additional caster the U44 has over stock?
And are they shipped with flanges for OEM driveshafts?
I can't seem to get Dana/Spicer to answer. Hoping someone on here knows.

I read in another post the upper hole on the bracket is 2" higher. It has the stock JK flange. Not sure on this, but I think the offset is 10 degrees, vs stock which is 6 degrees.

Dana probably thinks it's a great feature. But the 2in higher track bar bracket, and the stem mounted steering dampener is actually going to be a pain. Most aftermarket raised track bar brackets raise the mounting point 3 inches. So now I'll have to cut it off and weld on a new bracket.

Ok so I bought and built a Mopar D44HD. This has J8 tubes and I can tell you for a fact there is more then 1/16" tube difference. I purchase some Ten Factory tube end seals hoping I could shave them down to fit. No dice. Tubes too thick.
As for the C's I have yet to see a factory C bent or even photos of such. I have seen factory tubes bend right at the C which C gussets stop from happening. I have had a front end collision where the wheel took a direct hit and that didn't bend the C. So before I call judgement on factory C's I want to see proof.
My build. Mopar Performance D44HD, OX Locker with electric actuator, 5.38 Yukon gears, factory Rubi axles for now. $2675. USD. I did the work.

Take a close look at the housings center section. If it has provisions for the Rubicon electric locker connections then yes, you can use Rubi internals. If not then you'll have to source something like an ARB, etc. and associated bits.

I know it’s an old post , but I came across an Ultimate Dana 44 housing and I’m looking to build it . My question is can I use Rubi internals (shafts, carrier with e locker) etc ? I know it’s kind of a dumb question but i can’t find a spline count on these axles or hardly and info as far as building one . I’m just looking to upgrade my 30 to a 44 and do moderate/some hard trails and daily it . I got it for a decent price and want to do it on a budget as well , so any info would be greatly appreciated
